This Retirement-Dream Purchase Could End Up Being a Nightmare
It's natural to come up with an idea of what retirement will look like well ahead of that milestone. And your picture of retirement may involve owning a second home.
In some cases, buying a second home could make sense. If you intend to split your time somewhat evenly between two different parts of the country -- say, the Northeast in the spring and summer and Florida in the fall and winter -- then it could be a good idea to invest in a property of your own. That way, you won't have to deal with the stress of securing a long-term rental year after year.
