There are plenty of compelling reasons to invest in a vacation home. There are personal reasons of course, but there can also be financial advantages. If you’re a first-time real estate investor thinking about buying a vacation property, you can rent it out when you’re not using it and cover the costs and hopefully make a profit as well. Real estate investments help you build value through appreciation, which frequently happens when you buy property. A second home can also offer the opportunity to take advantage of certain tax benefits. When you are investing in a vacation property, the location you choose is important. You want a place that will attract a lot of guests so you can keep it rented if that’s your plan, and also so that you charge a substantial nightly rate. The following are five great places to consider investing in a vacation or second home in the U.S. right now.
