With most of the mortgage brokers I know, there isn't a clause saying that you cannot rent out your second home as a vacation rental as long as you are still intending to use it personally.

But to use a casino analogy, playing with "house money" and getting all the perks is the best way to vacation in Vegas. 

Some have jobs act poor many now own new cars and go on vacation walked out richer than landlords. 1 saved enogh now own a house.  

Hi everyone thank you for hopping in briefly, I just wanted to depict how I entered the business of short-term/vacation rental.

I manage on Oahu in Hawaii and I would assume based on things that I have heard from other hosts and managers in CA that the conversation around regulation would be somewhat similar given that it is a highly desirable destination for both guests and investors in the STR space.Speaking only to what I have experience with here - there seem to be three types of zones that vacation rentals fall into - on one hand you have zones where they are illegal, and while it is possible to run and gun in these areas I don't think the risk is worth the reward if you get caught.

Yesterday on 7/6/24 was their final day as they let us know the property was vacated.

What this rule states is that for the home of purchase to qualify as a secondary home, it must be 65 miles or further from your primary residence or in a “vacation destination”.

Just what I needed for my Big Bear vacation rentals.

The total cost of the job with materials was $2700.This was a sigh of relief at the moment.The tenants on the first floor were vacating the property and have already put in the notice months before.

I have a few clients who've bought vacation rentals in the Denver and Colorado Springs markets who bought in the first month of looking.
