The Benefits of Owning a Second Home
|
Whether it's a vacation home or a rental property, a second home can give you many of the same personal and financial benefits as your first home. Make sure you inderstand the tax implications before you buy, however, so you canmake the most of your home investment.
Lifestyle benefits
If your second home will serve as a personal getaway, you're probably looking forward to having a place to relax with family and friends. Whether it's a golf cottage or a villa on the beach, knowing that you can retreat from the hustle of daily life to your own private vacation spot has an obvious appeal.
Financial benefits
Investing in a second home has the potential to pay off in a number of ways. First, there are the same financial rewards that come with homeownership in general: tax-deductible interest* and possible price appreciation. In addition, you may be able to use the home as a source of rental income. If it's a vacation home, renting it out for part of the year can help offset the costs of ownership. If it's strictly a rental property, you can use it as a significant source of income although the tax implications may be somewhat different.
Tax implications*
You can deduct the mortgage interest you pay on a second home, but not on an investment property. Which category your home belongs in depends on how you use it. To the IRS, a second home is one that you personally use at least 14 days per year, or at least one day for every 10 days it's rented out, whichever is greater.
Although you can't deduct mortgage interest for an investment property, you can deduct operating expenses (such as maintenance and advertising costs) that exceed the rent you collect, as well as losses on the sale of the home. Neither is deductible for a second home.
