I know a lot of people have purchased a vacation home and then sub them out to make money.
We are looking at doing this. Either in the Destin area or Jacksonville. Why Jax? Because it would allow me more easily to travel to other parts of the state. My wife is in favor of Destin because, well, we’ve been going there for years.
couple of question
1) Is this worth it - in the sense of actually making money?
2) What headaches do you have that you did not anticipate?
3) in order to get started you would need to put a certain percentage of money down for the place, correct? Are there leniencies vs when purchasing a home (ie you already have a mtg on a home thus there is some things working in your benefit here) ?
