1. Find a real estate agent who’s a true waterfront specialist. The average agent won’t have the detailed knowledge of waterfront properties in your area to help you find the best deal on a property that’s right for you.. “You may think you’ve found a great deal, but the reason it’s a great deal is because there are lily pads and people can’t get their boats in and out.” 
2. Consider the property more than the structure. “Oftentimes, people fall in love with a house, but after they buy it, they realize the swimming is mucky, the view’s not very good, it’s difficult to get down to the water, or the place is not very private." You can change the house, but you can’t change the location, so buy a property that you really love.
3. Choose a property that truly fits your lifestyle. You may find a beautiful property for sale, but the property may have no parking so you can't have big parties.  Focus on the activities you’re passionate about and choose a property accordingly.
4. Look into loans early. Since many waterfront properties are more expensive than other properties, loans will often fall into the jumbo mortgage category. Lenders will therefore only consider very qualified buyers. “Buyers ought to start that process before they start looking for a property because that can take a lot longer than a normal home loan.
5. Make sure the structure can withstand the weather. Waterfront homes receive more abuse from the elements than the average home, so extra measures should be taken to protect them. 
6. Insurance can be costly and complicated. Look into this early to make sure you know what you’re getting into. For instance, Garrett says waterfront homeowners may need flood insurance.
7. Find out what you can do with the property. If you want to make any changes to your waterfront property, such as adding a dock or a seawall, start this process early to ensure that these alterations will be possible. “Government agencies are very strict to deal with, and you don’t want to commit to purchasing a lake front home without knowing that you can really do what you want to make it your own.  Also find out what kind of activities are allowed on the body of water, as some areas have restrictions on jet skis, speedboats and other watercraft.
8. Talk to neighbors. Get insider information from neighbors by asking if they enjoy living in the community, if they have any issues with the property you’re thinking about purchasing, or if there are any waterfront-related problems.
9. In rural areas, look into utilities. Waterfront buyers who are accustomed to the convenience of suburban life may assume that electricity, clean water, sewers, an adequate septic system, cable and Internet will be readily available at their new property, but this is not always the case. Bringing these services in to remote areas can be very expensive.
10. Get to know your responsibilities as a waterfront homeowner. If you’re part of a homeowners association, find out what kind of upkeep and maintenance of the property will be required from you by reviewing the conditions, covenants and restrictions, and talking to the HOA's management company.
