Your Place to Stay – Second Home and Vacation Properties

by David Jensen

Do you have a favorite vacation spot?  Or is there some town you visit often?

Have you ever thought of buying property there?

If you manage it right, this second property can pay for your vacation and may help lower your personal tax bill at the same time, and help grow your wealth faster!

With the run up in our property values, homeowners are sitting on a sudden pile of useful equity in their homes.

For others, maybe you have spare funds that can be leveraged.  It’s good to explore how powerful that resource can be for you.

 

Maybe you got a big bonus recently?  Leverage that good fortune to increase your physical asset holdings.

 

A second or vacation home can be a good fit for you.  When you go on vacation or visit a favorite place during a given season, you can stay in YOUR home.

 

Also, while you’re not using the place, put it out there as a short term rental.  Income plus appreciation and possibly lower your personal tax liability.

It’s not beyond your means, though it’s definitely worth your time to learn how this can benefit you and your family.

 

Ask your Realtor, CPA, and Estate Planner.  Together they can help you map out the path that works best for you.

 

Your money is sitting there on the table.  Grab it and put it to work.
