OBX - winter[/quote]

Translation:  we rent our OBX house out in the summer, so it’s an investment property [/quote]

All real estate is an "investment".

PP has two vacation homes.

And who cares? What an odd mind set.

My aunt and uncle bought a place on Nantucket back in the 70s and would spend summers there, renting it out during the year. The house paid for itself with the rental. How is that not a smart decision? Fast-forward 40 years and they and my four cousins and their families all use it. We've vacationed with them there and it's lovely. They haven't rented it out since it was paid off because why bother, but I always thought they were brilliant. (Now I'm an adult I realize lots of people do this, but when I was a kid I didn't know anyone besides them who had a vacation house, so it always struck me as amazing to have such a great place and figure out how to make it pay for itself!)[/quote]

DP but to answer OP’s question, if I had all the money in the world, Nantucket would be one of my top spots for a vacation home!  Definitely not a place I would want to live year round or even in the off season but would love to go annually.[/quote]

PP with the Nantucket aunt and uncle - my dream is Maine. Bar Harbor, specifically. Will never happen, but I can dream! I am one of those who hates traffic so I would not be willing to spend 5 hours getting there (which is what my aunt and uncle did - drive from Connecticut to wherever the ferry is, then 2 hours on the ferry). But clearly lots of people are and more power to them! I wish I could be more flexible but the thought of driving more than 3 hours stresses me out. :)[/quote]
