[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a foolery for the rich.  Those with unlimited time they can spend in different places (not your worker-bee type tethered to a specific location due to J.O.B. or kid's schools).  Those with enough NW that they do not need to worry about making rental income to break even.  Those with funds to pay the locals to maintain their home when they are away and prepare it for them and maintain it while they are vacationing there.

Those here who claim to have made millions or hundreds of thousands off their vaca homes were already loaded to start with, bought already expensive homes in areas of high demand, and didn't rely on these homes making income or appreciating to keep them.  Or this is just BS.

But the point of this thread a lot of times they don't make much money--or don't make as much money as comparable investments of cash after expenses in a basic stock index.  [/quote]
