Thinking of buying and living on a houseboat, where to buy and live?

I am thinking of buying and living on a houseboat, and looking where to buy and live? I am looking for a nice, warm place to live, and just need some help with what maybe a lot of questions.

Questions like the cost of a dock slip, marina fees, are but a few. I do have lots of time before I buy a boat, since I must sell my house first.

So, I can use all the help anyone cares to offer.

Thanks for reading, John

Well John, welcome to the forums, and congratulations on your decision to buy and live on a houseboat.

You will find plenty of information throughout the site, simply use the search function to start your question search.

If you're looking for ballpark figures for a dock or slip at a marina in the southern USA, you would be looking at $200-500 dollars per month, depending on many factors such as locations, services, amenities, size of boat, etc...

Again, since you have the time, take it slow, and you will gain all the knowledge and information to make a smart decisions.
