Buying, Owning, and Selling Rhode Island Waterfront and Water View Property , written by veteran attorney John M. Boehnert, Esq., is an invaluable guide for those considering coastal property in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island has a substantial shoreline area, and the state's seaside area is a tremendous draw, making coastal property some of the most sought after property in Rhode Island. But purchasing this property, building on it, or even renovating it is often difficult and complicated.
Coastal property is heavily regulated, and these regulations can prevent everything from remodeling an existing structure to constructing a dock to even cutting trees or vegetation for water access or view.
Boehnert's concise, easy-to-read book is a gift for people who wish to understand the process and benefit from a person with years of experience and mastery of coastal real estate transactions in Rhode Island. Boehnert has seen it all, and he offers his knowledge to readers to help prevent some of the unfortunate, and sometimes tragic, outcomes he's witnessed.
Most of these problems were due to lack of understanding- Buying, Owning, and Selling Rhode Island Waterfront and Water View Property provides that understanding and offers solutions.
