THINKING ABOUT BUYING A VACATION HOME?
Some Compelling Financial Reasons Why Now Could be the Time
In its 2022 Vacation Rental Buyer Report, Vacasa (a vacation home management company) reports that 55% of vacation home buyers do so because they want to generate income. Another 41% buy so they can sell it later at profit. Even though these reasons are about money rather than personal R&R, they definitely—with the popularity of services like Airbnb and VRBO, you have the option to rent out your vacation home to other travelers as often as you wish, for rates that will cover your mortgage and then some.
“Short term vacation rental property is the best financial investment of any kind of real estate,” says Gail Goodwin of Montana Bear Properties, who owns vacation rentals in Whitefish, Montana and St. John. “You’ll make more from a well-managed short-term vacation rental in the right location than you ever will from an equally valued property in a long-term residential or commercial market … (and) You can also enjoy staying there and sharing it with friends and family.”
Just like for your primary residence, you can deduct your vacation home’s mortgage interest and property taxes
“These deductions will benefit you significantly if you are inside a modest income tax bracket, bringing real dollars into your pockets,” says Gunner Davis, a real estate agent in Tampa, FL.
You may also be able to deduct other things, like depreciation and travel expenses to and from the property for upkeep. Keep in mind, though, that taxes are complicated and potentially confusing, so always ask a tax professional about what is best for your situation (there are lots of tax rules when it comes to vacation homes).
