If you buy A home which might be a great long term Investment your next question might be shall I purchase a 2nd Home Vacation Getaway. I would say yes.
One problem today just owning one home especially if you live in California may be all you can afford. I have researched buying a second home and my conclusion is buying a second home oin California is tough nut to crack unless of course you are able to afford it.
We have owned second Homes with my wife and today the only affordable seconng homes I I found the USA are not in California. Recently we purchsed a second home outside of California now adding to my second home on wheels that being our RV Class C 22'. For the record RV's are not an Investment. If you want to become a landlord and have the ability for a second mortage, Insurance ,Taxes and Maintenance fees remember it ain't easy and can be expensive. Most of today's 2nd Home vacation home owners are typically those that have inherited a second home from their parents or they are Multimillionaires that can afford owning multiple homes at places where we common folk dream of living but can only vacation there for at most one to two weeks a year. Milt's further thoughts on second homes? 1) Renting or owning a RV is an potion with no return on your investment other than great memories r 2) VRBO or AIRBNB rent a second home for your getaway vacation that your family may enjoy like a home for one to several weeks out of the year. More affordable than owning a second home but no return on your money but again great memories. Finally if you are looking for second Home and give me a Holler and I can give you some areas in the USA where owning a Second Home might make sense for you !
