Getting the Most Out of Your New Vacation HomeÂ
The new Vacasa report was the result of studying home sale and rental data in different areas throughout the United States. It's based on the average cost of a vacation home as well as the rate of return that home investors can expect from their real estate investments.Â
When you’re looking to buy a new vacation home, there are several factors you have to consider to ensure that you make the right choice. Home buyers need to know the areas in the U.S. that attract the most visitors, local short-term rental rules, occupancy rates, and capitalization rates of the area’s properties.Â
