Do you have that inner desire to meet people and have fun?
I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about buying a vacation home and using it as a Vacation Rental property when the homeowner is not there. So I’m going to do a 5, 6, 10 part blog (however long it takes) to discuss all the issues, considerations and needs for this type of home purchase.
I actually converted my long term rental three years ago into a vacation rental and really love it. I get to meet new people all the time. And since my rental is on my personal property I also get some peace time when I don’t have guests. I think it’s the best of both worlds and I’ll talk about the income later!
Some of the topics people want covered are:
Size (how many people/bedrooms), location (beach, farm, in town), price, how much to do you want to be involved in the renting & turnover process, furnishings, where do you find guests, taxes, accessibility and more. If you have a specific topic you’d like covered please post to my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pamwhitewhidbey or email me at pamelawhite@remax.net
Happy Vacationing!
