Some of you may know that I was a car salesman for a while. I put back a good bit of my income while doing it. I quit about a year ago and I've been thinking about what to do with it. Then I saw this website for buying castles. I found this one. It's in Florida. It has a mote and a pirate ship in the mote. I'm thinking about turning it into a bed and breakfast. Take a look. Does it look like some place you'd stay for a week or weekend and feel comfortable paying to do so?

If you have this much money can I just live in the boat and work as a groundskeeper.
 
I think those pics were taken at a bad time, if the foliage were greener then it would look spectacular. It seems like a good place to stay for a bit. :up: But you have to think of how much work it's gonna be on your part too. All the lawn work, keeping the moat clean, upkeep on the outside of the building itself, keeping the rooms clean, cooking, and tons of other things to do. Seems like that could be a full scale business. I hope you're thinking of hiring a lot of help :oldrazz:

I'm thinking about all of that stuff. I think it could be worthwhile.

I've got this idea for around halloween to do like a theme night, like a zombie invasion while the guests are checking in or something.

Great to know you're thinkin' like a businessman :woot:

Change that to zombie pirates and you've got something there :up: Try to keep the pirate theme all around, but try not to get close to POTC, I don't want you getting into any trouble :(
 
I thought you were considerng buying a real castle from the middle ages.
 
Now I know where I'm hiding out during the zombie apocalypse as the castle is apparently only 2 hours away.:yay:

I thought about it. I saw a nice one in Switzerland, but I'm kind of wary about buying property outside of the USA.

It could also have staff of hype members who have the knowledge to handle such a thing.
 
I think you should change the B+B idea and change into a full hotel idea. This place would be too awesome, your customers would feel like their getting ripped off being kicked out by noon. You can have stuff like game areas and serve awesome local types of dinners in the ship. There's so much more you could with this place.
 
Bed and Breakfast is one of my ideas. I have others cooking up inside of my head.
 
I have this vision that it could be like the Biltmore Estate only funner.
 
Whatever you decide, I highly recommend getting a professional landscaper out there. Some of those plants look a bit iffy, but some different plants here and there, and some tropical flowers, and some pirate decor... ya I can see it all now.... nice.
 
How do you put back 2.5 million from being a car salesmen???

By not being the honest one. But I don't have that much total, but I have enough for the down payment and I can get the loan from the bank for the rest. I have some good investments.
 
Buy a real castle...the ones that are haunted.
