Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Kimberly Clouse discuss the following:

  • What’s the first thing to ask yourself if you are thinking about buying a second home?
  • Let’s discussion a vacation home.  How should you think about the costs?
  • As with all real estate purchases, I assume that location is the most important consideration.
  • What about the tax implications?
  • Any specific advice for people who want to rent out their house?

TIPS: Not Every Day Is A Vacation.  Vacation homes require maintenance and repairs and realize that several – if not many – of your vacation days will be spent at the hardware store. Also think about how your use of the second home might change over time.  You might use it often when the kids are young, less when the kids are older and involved in school activities and sports, and more when the children are out of the house.  1/3rd of buyers eventually move to into their 2nd homes full-time.
