Remember the old stories that date back decades about great prices for land in Florida?  They're not making any more land!  Get it while it lasts!  The problem was it was just swampland.  Actually, let me rephrase... the problem wasn't that it was swampland... it was just that the people who bought it didn't do.

So you've passed the litmus test that was Part 1.  This is what you want.  I hope you're already in the marina management/ownership industry because this is a business and you need knowledge of the business to run it better than the last owner.  The clothes fit, but do they look good on you? .

It's no secret that we're starting to see some dark marinas become available for investors.  The term "dark" is a real estate term used to describe an empty property.  The current news hot button for this word is "shuttered", although it's usually applied to a business.  Since marinas have a business aspect, I suppose that's.
