vacation homes: Florida Vacation Home Rental and Ownership - 06/18/07 10:34 AM
In recent years there has been a surge in the number of people purchasing a second home to be used as a vacation home.  The majority of Florida vacation homes are located near lakes or along coastal areas such as the hundreds of miles along Florida's coastline.  Some people have purchased second homes to be near other family members (especially children or grandchildren).  According to the reports I've read, this is in large part thanks to the baby-boomer generation and low interest rates.  Buying a second home for many people sometimes means taking on a second mortgage and some opt to treat the … (0 comments)
