Whether it's a lakefront cottage, a cabin in the woods or a waterfront home with a pier on a river or creek, a vacation home often seems like a dream that only the wealthy can afford. But these days, you don't have to be a millionaire to own one.
With today's continued low interest rates, the tax advantages a second home can bring, and a wide selection of homes at great prices, this is an excellent time to consider purchasing a second home as an investment - and a great getaway place.
Once you've settled on a community, work with a Realtor and lending institution to determine how much home you can afford. Drive around the town and it's neighborhoods & experience the day-to-day activity around potential properties. Keep in mind you may decide to retire to the area one day. Will the property serve two purposes - that of vacation and retirement home? More & more Americans are purchasing vacation properties in areas where they plan to eventually retire.
