One of the advantages of buying a vacation home is that it can be a successful real estate investment. As with other investments such as stocks, there is no guarantee that the value of a vacation home will increase. However, just like office buildings and rental apartments, vacation homes may, in some cases, increase in value after purchase.
For example, if you are able to purchase a vacation home in a popular area near the ocean or mountains at a reasonable price, you may be able to resell it in the future at a higher price than the purchase price. If you do not plan to live in the purchased vacation home all the time, you can also rent it out to other tourists to generate rental income.
