Interested in Purchasing a Second Home for Investment?

May 31, 2007 by New_RealEstate | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

I am interested in buying a townhome for investment. Basically, buy the home and rent it out. Don't care about making much money from rent, looking for long term investment. Below are my questions:

1. Is there anything I need to know

Couple of answers and thoughts for you.

1. You will need investor financing if you are looking to buy and immediately rent. Usually this means a slightly higher interest rate and lower loan to value requirements from the lender. Higher

Purchasing a summer home/ a second home?

Feb 24, 2007 by Laurel | Posted in Other - Home & Garden

What do you do with the house the other 9 months of the year when you're not living there?
The lawn needs to get cut, watered, etc.
Anyone have any ideas or currently owns a second home?

If you want the home at any time you feel like it, you'll have to hire a maintenance man to take care of it. They will have to have access to all places in and out of the house in order to make sure all is alright and ready for when you need it. Nothing

5 questions to ask before buying a vacation home

01.06.11

A property's location can have a big impact on how much you'll pay in home insurance rates. Is the home in an area that's susceptible to floods or hurricanes? Is it in a zone that's at risk for wild fires?

Properties located in such areas fall into the "high risk" category and are more difficult to insure. When you do finally find coverage, you'll likely end up with a larger insurance bill.

"With insurance, you pay according to risk," says Dick Luedke, a spokesperson for State Farm Insurance .

For example, if you live in a flood zone, "in most cases, your lender will obligate you to buy certain coverage, such as flood coverage," Luedke says.
