Are you planning to buy a second home? Well, you will not only have an additional place for vacation or for your guests but it will also give you certain tax advantages.
Definitely, having a second home might come as a good idea. At any rate, one still has to consider several things before jumping into such an expensive purchase.
Before making our big cross-country move, we got our house hunting done a few months before, while on vacation. We weren't just there to relax, we were on a mission to discover this area soon to be our new home. It gave us a good idea of how much we'd enjoy living there, and see and touch the properties we had viewed over the internet for the last few months.
