We're paying $1 million to live on a cruise ship and sail around the world while we keep managing our property empire
This as-told-to article is based on a conversation with Amanda Williams, a real estate investor who has bought a 12-year lease on an apartment on Storylines' MV Narrative. Insider has verified her income and her place on the cruise ship with documentation. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
After seeing an ad for Storylines, I booked a call and handed over a $10,000 deposit there and then. I make decisions quickly. Yes, $1 million in Raleigh could get you four or five bedrooms, but I don't want to be stuck there, or anywhere else for that matter. We'll pay 40% of the costs before we get on the boat, and the rest will be paid in installments. Hopefully, interest rates will have fallen by then and financing will be a little less expensive.I've been in some form of real estate since 2008. I started out helping a friend flip homes, then bought my grandma's home in 2013 after she died.
My boyfriend does all the day-to-day handling of properties and the guests and tenants that live there. We're hoping to hire someone to take that on, but we've got a couple of years to do that.
