Advantages of Owning a Second Home
There are many advantages to purchasing a second home in areas that are popular and warm year round. According to this article in MoneyCrashers.com ; these relevant points still hold true in today’s market. Whether you are buying to go stay for a few months a year or planning to retire in that area, purchasing a second home can be a wise choice.
1. Long-Term Profits
While all assets fluctuate in value in the short term, vacation properties are more likely to retain their value and appreciate simply because they are located in popular areas with a geographically limited supply.
2. Tax Deductions
Many people who own second homes prefer to keep them unoccupied when not being used for personal enjoyment. If you allow and charge rent for occupancy for no more than two weeks per year, the interest on the mortgage and the property taxes are fully deductible from your gross income. In other words, for tax purposes, you can treat this mortgage the same way you would the mortgage on your primary residence.
4. Familiarity
Returning to the same place time and after time can be comforting as you become familiar and comfortable with the location. It allows you the freedom to be yourself and the opportunity to expand long-term friendships with residents – you can become part of the social fabric.
5. Retirement Head Start
