[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - you're all right, from a pure money standpoint, I should not buy one. But my spouse has recently declared that they don't want to leave our suburban DC life full-time in retirement because they like urban amenities, so a 2nd home is looking like a good option. Mountains are nice but boring for me. Not buying in Florida. [/quote]

This is exactly the reason we looked, the conclusion we came to, and my view about living in the mountains.  My brother has a mountain place (not ski area) and we have a beach house with access to clubs.   Guess where family always wants to congregate?  [/quote]

Access to clubs??  No thanks.

We have a beautiful second home on 8 acres with a large pool less than 2 hours from the city where we live.  It's about a 15 minute walk to the main street of a very charming small historic town.  The beauty of where it is is it's not seasonal.  The beach towns in the NE become ghost towns in the winter.  Here all that changes is the weather.

The last thing we'd want to do is go to "clubs," but even if we did the "clubs" in the NE aren't open 8 months out of the year.  [/quote]

Yeah you want to go to an unsustainable economic disaster… you want life to be one way, but it’s the other. Your big beach ideas aren’t realistic for more than 10 years. Start getting used to better ideas.  [/quote]
