[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who in their right mind would want a second home so close to DC?

And a nice property below 600K?

I used to have a vacation home 8 miles from my primary home. When I lived on Long Island I was 8 miles from beach. But the nice beach had a private resident only beach and was resident only parking all summer whole town and they sold no passes to public. It was very convenient.

My place there was a condo walking distance to beach with two parking spots. On busy weekends with family parties or kids having plans we still would go. I recall we drive over at lunch time, pull in to my spot, we go to the beach a few hours, come back to condo change watch TV then maybe grab pizza the place next door, we bring our dog leave him in unit. And then just go home.

If you ever been a place like Rehoboth living 8 miles from beach can be brutal in the summer with traffic and parking. I recall one 4th of July there was a huge show and traffic was unbearable. I drove over with wife and kids after dinner, we parked car. Had some drinks, walked over to show. Afterward traffic unbearable we just walked back.

Best part I have family over or friends and no one had to stay over. They drive over I had two parking spots as a resident I can park in street my car with sticker. We do beach and they go home. Years ago I had a beach house in Hamptons and if you invite someone it is a whole weekend. I rather have them come for day. So would they, Closer is better for a second home.

Also if something goes wrong I am over there in 15 minutes. I had a winter tennant from September 15 to May 15 every year that covered cost of owning unit.
