Way back when I started my career in banking and was on an internal audit team, I remember that anytime a branch was inspected, they would fail. Spectacularly! I once saw a branch manager accidentally, lock his assistant in a vault, call 911 and hit a silent alarm in under 3 minutes. It was funny and sad at the same time.
I was remembering this when I was viewing a marina home that I had always dreamed of living in. The home was affordable, was on the marina and had it's own boat slip! It was a three story hurricane resistant castle that I couldn't wait to live in! Until a 38' Donzi Racing Boat pulled into the Marina to fuel up. Some engine problem required the pilot to rev the engine and the smell of gas was nauseating. Not only that, but the fuel station was directly across from what would have been my front door.
Gross.
I know conventional wisdom suggests that you visit the neighborhood you are interested in, several times during the day to see if you would like it there. This is much more important in a marina, especially if you are near the fueling station. You should probably spend 24 hours in the marina, on a weekend. At least.
You're welcome.
