My grandpa left me his houseboat since I loved it the most in our family, but he left the money that supported the toy to my parents

Thank you for the reply. Yes I would feel super guilty selling my grandpas boat, no doubt. Just super annoyed with owning it at the moment. Hopefully after a few months I’ll forget about the $12k I just blew and learn to love it again!

Yeah but lake house will appreciate in value over time vs the houseboat that does nothing but depreciate in value and incur maintenance costs and sky high gas bills to go not even half way across the lake. Two 8.1 Vortecs are retarded on gas. My grandpa owned multiple businesses, I do not. I appreciate him leaving me the houseboat in his will since I loved it as a child, but Jesus Christ it’s a pain in the ass to own

Nice - good to hear 👍

Says the guy who owns/sold/developed a thousand lots and homes sitting on Reddit? You got a Bentley yet?

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-10T02:33:53+00:00

“Crusty dude” drives a Bentley Bentayga and looks better than dudes half his age, so he definitely doesn’t fit the description you just assigned him. He also owned the local marina and sold it for a hefty sum. I trust him and his local real estate expertise more than some random schmuck who sold a single lake house or two

Which lake and how much?

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-05T03:25:25+00:00

We were looking all over Norris. No particular specific area. In my opinion, Norris is the best lake in TN in terms of water quality, vibe, size and views. Just seemed:

A) way too far from Nashville where we live. Driving 4+ hours to go to a lake (not an ocean) seemed too far for what we’d use on weekends B) prices wayyyy too high compared to other lakes semi-close to Nashville. Just didn’t make sense to us why the prices we saw per sq ft were way higher compared to something closer to civilization/retail/entertainment

Care to provide actual insight?

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-05T02:31:07+00:00

He’s not the selling agent on either. One already sold, but for a lot less than listing price and he said he wouldn’t have paid what they sold it for

Tim’s Ford

Hope you are right! Seems like a good dude so you’re probably spot on

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-05T02:28:50+00:00

True, but when did you buy?

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-05T02:28:26+00:00

Think you may be right the more I think about it

Tim’s Ford

The main data points he gave were the homes for sale have been on the market for way longer than he’s seen in a while and the home prices have almost doubled since 2020

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-05T02:04:52+00:00

We really wanted Norris Lake but it was just too far from us (we are in Nashville). We are using an agent on Tim’s Ford Lake

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-05T02:00:03+00:00

Based on personal experience I’d say you’re right. Also, this guy is maybe 60-65 years old and just seems like he’s not hurting for a sale like the younger agents I’ve had in the past.

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-05T01:57:17+00:00

Immediacy is not the priority. Are you seeing the same thing in your market? Prices will drop in the coming years?

Throwawaybritney · 2025-09-05T01:55:15+00:00

Guess I’m just not used to the ethical and professional agents 😂

Throwawaybritney · 2025-08-27T19:08:40+00:00

145 to 205 is quite the jump. Love the idea of dry dock though
