基本上，您要问的是您是否应该购买二手船屋。If you've decided that you want or need a houseboat, buying it second-hand from the owner or from a [url='13315']bank[/url] that has no interest in owning it (which is what’s meant by repossessed) can save you thousands of dollars compared to buying it new. The downside, however, is that a second-hand houseboat doesn't come with any sort of guarantee as to its condition. It could be that the houseboat is in fine condition, and that the owner has fallen on hard times or it could be that just as the owner was unable to keep up with his payments on the boat, he was unable to keep up with whatever repairs were needed. Have someone who's knowledgeable about houseboats thoroughly inspect the houseboat (including the engine and other machinery) and give you an estimate of how much work and money you'll have to put into it for it to be seaworthy or even just livable while docked.
虽然有些人希望自己购买一艘被收回的船屋，但另一些人则计划“翻转”这艘船。这意味着他们想购买它，修复它，然后出售它比他们为之付出的东西要多得多，无论是为了“自己动手”的爱好享受，赚钱，还是两者兼而有之。在收回船屋之前，业主有时会尝试以尽可能多的贷款来出售它。这种情况可能会导致二手船买家的价格特别好。

如果您正在寻找收回的船屋，请注意分类广告，在线拍卖数据库和船只拍卖会。例如，海洋贷款人服务显示了他们处理的各种收回的船只和游艇的清单，包括有关船的建造年份的信息，其价值，其长度和描述以及当前位置。欢迎您进行海洋调查（检查），包括测试，并在船上投标。然后，出售被收回的船的银行可能会拒绝您的投标，忽略它，接受或提出反击。
