[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would much rather find a rental property I like and form a relationship with the owners and rent whenever i want to go there. Buying makes it feel not as much like a vacation. [/quote] We feel the opposite about owning a second home (in our case a beach home). When we rented it was a much bigger hassle. Now we just drive there with the clothing on our backs. We can bring other kids or families. We can decide to go today and leave the same hour. When we're there and feel like coming home (let's say it storms) we can just leave (and don't feel badly about missing a day we paid for during a rental). There's no planning or stress involved. We can keep things in the refrigerator from visit to visit. All little things but they add up and make it our stress-free, happy place and getaway from our lives here in DC. We haven't had any maintenance issues but it's a small place and was recently renovated. [/quote]
