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. 50 years ago I would have said yes, but 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 one is enough at my age which is 69.
I have owned second Homes with my wife and today, I'm pleased to announce the only second home we own now is our RV on wheels second home. If you want to become a landlord and have the ability for a second mortage, Insurance ,Taxes and Maintenance fees remenber it ain't easy and can be expensive. 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 advise on second homes? Why not consider two additional Options 1) How about renting or owning a RV ( an somewhat affordable second home on wheels or 2) Invested in a timeshare where you own a vacation at a destination that your family may enjoy like a home for one to several weeks out of the year.
