Whether you are looking for an investment property, getaway retreat, or retirement
residence, a second home is an option for many people these days. Luckily, the process
is pretty much the same as buying a primary home, with just a few additional considerations.
One advantage to buying a second home is that you can use the equity from your primary
residence for the down payment. The interest rates on second mortgages are typically
the same, although there may be additional tax considerations. Make sure to consult
your tax advisor for specific details. Also, homeowner’s insurance may be slightly
more expensive since you may not live in the property full time.
