Vacation and second homes are appealing for several reasons: Excellent long-term investment: second homes can be rented out for income. They can also be rented now and then sold later when you are ready to retire or pass the money on to other family members. They can even be transferred to your children or grand-children when they are of an appropriate age. Vacation home: who doesn’t want a vacation home? A vacation home can give you a place to getaway, take the family, or even allow other family members to stay. You can rent the home when you or your family aren’t staying there and benefit from the rental income. Retirement home: second homes make great retirement homes since they are usually in an area near the beach, mountains or other places of interest. In the meantime, you can rent them for the income.
