[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And beyond the cleaning fee. There are other fees: electricity, water, gas. Paper products and other consumables need to be refreshed. Heating a pool is very expensive so what if your friends decide to turn that feature on? There is a house manager that needs to check on the home to make sure everything is stocked up and put away for the next set of renters, and locked up. It’s stressful!

People who don’t have a second home, do not know! [/quote]

I do have a second home and we do let friends stay there. We don't rent it out. If I am crying over electricity, water and gas, I would not have bought a second home. Sometimes, we don't use our house for months. I knew that going in. I am not going to stress over a property. If you can't really afford a second home, don't buy one. [/quote]

I'm confused.  If you actually do own a second home (which I doubt) why are you so worried about what other people who own second homes are doing?  Did you antagonize them in a way that they will no longer invite you, or something?

I don't expect anyone with a second home to invite me or not invite me.  You seem to be pouting, and trying to dictate what you want them to do.  How is that working for you?  I don't know anyone with a second home who pouts over what their buddies with second homes do or don't do. Peculiar behavior for an adult, really.

I do own a second home. I am on DCUMs where the subject is about letting your friends stay in your second home. What are you talking about? Our friends don't "expect" us to invite them to our house. They don't have too, but we do offer the house to our friends because we don't actually use it that much. It is only 80 miles from DC so it's really convenient. I just work a lot and we have a very active social life in DC so I don't get there often. My husband goes down more than I do.

I just find it strange that people are so cheap. With that said, we don't rent our house so we don't worry about whether the house is spotless and everything is put away for the next renters. [/quote]
