Obviously not entirely applicable to OP, but knew a buddy whose grandfather had bought a lake place that his dad then inherited. Everyone else around the lake had bought at the same time, so his dad grew up with the other kids who now bring their kids there and it's like a second community where everyone knows each other.
If you're an extrovertmo you could probably recreate that. |

Wasn't given any religious instruction at home. It was a massive shock for me to find out as a teenager that we were actually a deeply religious family. |

Date: December 8th, 2025 1:31 PM Author: Painfully honest startled hall I have looked at the mortgage payments on beach homes versus the revenue from AirBNBing them, and my first thought was, "Holy shit! Why isn't everyone doing this?" Then I researched it more carefully and discovered that there are some significant risks. If you get pwned by a hurricane and can't rent for a full season, the mortgage company still expects to be paid. Ditto if global warming causes your home to fall into the ocean. Also, you can't use your home at all during the summer (or you can use it for a few occasional weekdays at most). But if you are willing to take these risks, the potential profits are enormous.

Date: December 8th, 2025 6:27 PM Author: Avocado location elastic band I think anything you have to fly to kills it, flying is not a good experience and doing it twice in a weekend with kids is a hell of a lot of pain in the ass and money when you could just be flying to wherever and getting a hotel for the same effort to me the deciding factor is if you live close enough to something that is interesting enough to justify going all of the time but is too remote to actually live by, lake houses, ski cabins etc make sense if you live nearby but can't possibly go fulltime on some random mountain |
|
Date: December 8th, 2025 7:13 PM Author: alcoholic exhilarant menage sex offender Ideally if you’re flying you’re using your own plane to cut down on the travel time and making it less burdensome.

Date: December 8th, 2025 12:01 AM Author: Rusted boltzmann den Growing up my family had a beach home and a ski home, neither of which were within driving distance of our actual home. I did not like it because it locked us into a disproportionate number of vacations at those two places. We never lived at either or stayed for more than 2 weeks at a time.
I will say that my parents are naturally gifted home repairers, additioners, and decorators who sold those properties at wild profits and have since done the same with several others. For some of these I'm talking from under $1.5 to well over $2 in the course of less than 5 years (this wasn't some one-off miracle; they consistently got great gains). They would also rent them (short-term vacation) out through local property management companies when we weren't there; my parents would handle some repairs and replacement of stolen/lost/broken kitsch, but none of the day-to-day.
If you don't *like* that shit then obviously don't do it, but this is not, say, buying a boat. It is not a bad financial proposition at all. |

Date: December 8th, 2025 12:11 AM Author: maroon floppy mad-dog skullcap We have had a second house for 22 years. It's a winter escape. Swapping snow for palm trees is nice, and since we have friends and family in both places it's pretty homey feeling. Could I live without it? Sure, but I don't plan to sell it or rent it out unless one of us becomes debilitated so we can't use it. It's not that hard to maintain. We have a house watcher and a gardener. Things rarely break, and when they do we just get them fixed. The unrealized appreciation has far exceeded costs, but a stock market investment would have performed somewhat better. I wish it wasn't so far away, though. 2000+ miles is a PITA sometimes. It's an all day trip by air and several days of driving otherwise. We both prefer driving, esp. since we can visit friends along the way.

Had it painted and reroofed last year, so there's not much else to do. Could use some interior updating, but it's not urgent. I fix minor stuff that breaks, but don't intend to crawl around laying flooring. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5807480&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49495762) |

Better to just rent in those situations. The second house needs to be someplace you can fairly easily access for when shit goes wrong. I suppose a condo in a major foreign city would be fine.

Date: December 8th, 2025 12:17 AM Author: Painfully honest startled hall I'm thinking of doing this because I live in a place where summers are miserable but there are some nearby mountains with a mild summer climate and tons of outdoor opportunities. I think I would get enough utility from being able to hike and mountain bike all summer to justify any maintenance expenses (especially if I try to keep it rented when I am not using it). I'll have to see if the numbers add up, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5807480&forum_id=2\u0026show=posted#49492975) |

Date: December 9th, 2025 9:50 AM Author: Brindle Goyim Native i had a second forever and it honestly was just of a pain in the ass. youre always traveling to it in peak traffic (Friday night to Sunday night). youre constnatly buying groceries and stuff like milk that you have to throw out. you have to maintain it because it still gets dust and yard needs to be mowed. so if you dont want to sopend your whole weekend vacuuming you have to pay someone to do it. and yhour paying tax for services you dont even use.
if i were much richer sure or if it was a lake cabin with a boat sure, but it mostly sucks just get a hotel or stay home |

Date: December 12th, 2025 12:16 PM Author: maroon floppy mad-dog skullcap It's not in the mountains and not isolated, but we are gone from our winter house for 8 or 9 months/year. I have a neighbor who checks on it periodically and a gardener who comes a couple of times/month, plus a bug service to keep the scorpions out. Otherwise there's not really anything to do. I have security cameras and it's in a safe neighborhood with numerous permanent residents. If you're in a area with a mix of permanent and part time residents it's easy to find someone to keep an eye on it for a small fee.
