"Flohom" Houseboats
Share
Isaac shares a story about his friend Brian's innovative houseboat venture.
"I got a friend named Brian who had this idea to rethink what houseboats meant. He built this houseboat for $200,000. You can look it up, it's called Flowhome. It's totally different than what you think of, it's like a mini yacht almost.
He started renting it out and it absolutely went berserk. Now he's raised a bunch of money and he's buying marinas. The cool thing about houseboats is you don't typically fall into the same regulations as short-term rentals because you're on the water. So he gets to be in these prime locations in Baltimore harbor or Annapolis or Washington, wherever, and you get 360-degree harbor views. You're sometimes in hotels, sometimes not even in any zoning at all, and there's zero competition. So again, that's completely unique."
