[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a true second home and we go back and forth all the time so we never worry about any of this stuff.  [/quote]

As opposed to a fake second home?

I think she means having a second house that is rented the rest of the time. That's an investment. [/quote]

We have a second house that is never rented. Is that a true second home?

I’m curious how often PP goes “back and forth all the time” that exempts them from worrying about stuff that might happen while no one is there. [/quote]
NP but we go almost every weekend from mid-Spring to mid-Fall and monthly between that so we would never bother stopping the mail or shutting off the water and wouldn’t need a caretaker to check in on anything.[/quote]

Our second home is 2.5 hrs away, so sometimes there every weekend. That said, we still shut off hot water heater and water when we leave. No reason to pay to heat water while not there. We also turn off water each visit. Why not? It’s literally the turn of a dial. Why chance it? For example, we got there one night, turned water on. Middle of the night went to kitchen to get water. Noticed a leak, a leak not there when we arrived. You know what - hot water tank was leaking. With water off and not being used, tank was not leaking. When water was on, it leaked. Glad we turned off the water when we left originally.[/quote]
