Customer Reviews

I would buy this again

The best part of this book is that it doesn't assume why you are buying a second home, it covers all of the bases. Personal use, rental property, vacation home,... Well referenced for quick look ups. I haven't read it from cover to cover, but each time I have a new questions, I can grab it and find pertinent information in just a few minutes.

Great resource for anyone purchasing investment properties

Covers most financial aspects of owning non-primary properties, including second homes, vacation homes, rental properties, and strategizing for retirement property. Tax questions are covered in detail. Could have used more personal examples to give the book a more homey feeling. Also not a great resource for rural or undeveloped land purchases. Overall, very useful for anyone considering purchasing investment property, including rental property or renting to tenants part time. Lisa Merritt www.lockboxdeals.com
