 Purchasing a Second Home:
There's a growing trend among late baby boomers and young seniors who are experiencing empty nest to invest in second homes that serve as a getaway, an investment and as well as a possible new permanent residence down the road.

Making An Investment: For many Americans, investing means real estate. For many late age boomers and young seniors, this includes purchasing A second home. This could be:
  • Vacation getaway
  • An income property
  • A second residence
Today, these options are increasingly becoming one in the same as they provide numerous opportunities for the owners to reap a multitude of benefits over time.

With today's growing population of aging baby-boomers who are retiring with record levels of equity income, tax-free profits of up to a half million dollars from the sale of homes, poor performing stock investments, many homeowners aged 46 to 65 are seeking the security of reclusive retreats and viewing them as great investments as well as wise lifestyle choices.

You are not Alone.
The facts are:
  • Over half of all second-home owners consider their second home as a family retreat.
  • One in six second-home owners over 55 plan to make their second home their primary residence after retirement.
NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!
A great number of second home buyers do not move into the second home right away. They rent them for a number of years, drawing income, procuring tax benefits and building equity.
