Buying a vacation home in your favorite go-to destination can be a great investment and it can allow you to create memories for years to come. Owning a vacation home is a big decision. Here are some pros and cons to consider.
Pros
- It can provide passive income.
- You control when you use it and when it is rented.
- There could be tax benefits.
- It could be your future retirement home.
Cons
- It can be expensive: mortgage (unless a cash purchase), insurance, utilities, and property management fees if you plan to rent it out.
- On-going maintenance.
- Down payment for a vacation home is often bigger than it is for a primary residence.
