A BETTER PLACE FOR YOUR MONEY!
If you think that buying a second home is a luxury only the Donald
Trumps of the world can enjoy, think again. Recent statistics reveal
that second-home sales increased nearly 25% in just the two years
between 2001 and 2003. The primary buyers are baby boomers
reaching the peak of their income earning years and investors
(sometimes olke and the same).
There are three great reasons to buy a second home: as a vacation
home, as a retirement destination, and as an investment. Thinking
ahead to retirement, a home is an excellent asset that ranks up there
with IRAs, mutual funds and CDs. Very few stocks or bonds offer the
return that you'll enjoy on the investment toward your retirement home.
You can enjoy a nice tax break by downsizing now, avoiding capital
gains taxes on the sale, and using your equity to purchase your retire-
ment home. Then there's the income when you're ready to retire and
can sell your current primary residence!
A second home is a great investment at our low interest rates. Many
investors are taking money out of the sluggish stock market and mov-
ing it into real estate, enjoying record appreciation. You don't have to
be an investment wiz to maximize your dollars in a second home.
You just need a little guidance from your local financial and real
estate professionals!
