What you should know before purchasing a Vacation Home : Exotic jewelery, vintage sports cars. A putting green in your basement.. To some this may seem like real luxuries, while for others, ownig two homes may appear to be extravagant. But for those who actually do have two places to hang their hats, a second home offers more than a financial investment. It`s an opportunity for a lifestyle change that can benefit the entire family. Are you sick of the stop and go traffic, day in and day out? Does your family lack communication or, for that matter, fresh air because they`re always watching TV, surfing the net or playing video games? Do you currently live in an area where the only sign of nature is the sickly plant on your window-sill? Then perhaps a second home is just the prescription. As the economy continues to stay strong and with the revision of a few tax laws, this may be the perfect time to buy a second welcome mat.

What`s Your Pleasure? Once you`ve made the decision to purchase a second home, your next step is to decide what kind of home and where it will be. Most likely you don`t want a clone of your current house. Remember, the whole purpose is to do something different for a change of pace. Try to look at your life beyond the next year or two. Do you want to retire there someday? Or, are your children older and will they soon be moving out of the house? Building or buying a second home can be more challenging than finding your primary home. You`ll have to do your research from a distance or ``travel often`` perspective, which leads to the next question : Do you want a weekend getaway or a vacation home? Some may view this as one in the same, but they`re really quite different.

A weekend getaway is usually a home that`s located within driving distance of your primary residence-usually one to three hours away. It doesn`t have to be limited to weekend use. In fact, this type of home is perfectly suited for those who work at home, have flexible hours or like to take vacations a day or two at a time. For this type of home, you`ll most likely want to include a home office for telecommuting and a guest room or two, since you and your children will probably be inviting family and friends. The vacation home, on the other hand, is often located further away, and would require up to a full day`s drive to get to. It`s ideal for those who like to frequent the same vacation spot. In particular, destinations where one week`s rental fee could equal a monthly mortgage payment. If you haven`t already, you should visit the area several times to make sure you`ll be happy before making a purchase.
