Are you able to afford a second home? If you want to buy a vacation home for personal use, its location is one of the most important factors to consider. What do you consider a vacation? If you’re a fan of winter sports, a cabin in the woods up North will be your ideal property. If thinking about snow makes your skin crawl, you’ll want something on the coast. Either way, it’s important to study the market and find a location that both suits your needs and is reasonably priced.

You may be thinking of buying a vacation home and renting it out. This is especially true if you only use the home yourself for a few weeks a year. However, know that renters may only be interested in your home during peak season. You may need to report your income, depending on how often your home is rented out.
