There’s really something to be said for buying a vacation home. My husband and I thought about it for the longest time and weighed the pros and cons over and over again and decided at the end of the day it just didn’t make sense to keep throwing good money away on hotels season after season, you know? The kids were in on the whole thing and we all went house hunting together (my sister’s a realtor so that made it much easier.) There are actually quite a few great beach towns here in Texas which a lot of people don’t realize but we decided on a craftsman style bungalow only about three miles from the beach. It’s the cutest little house – purple with a red door – but it needs a small bit of “upgrading” as my husband calls it.
I thought that was the best idea since that way we could put money into it now and sell it for more later. Beach property never really goes down in value, you know? So anyway, we’ve been working on getting it ready for us to come down in a couple of weeks and actually bring friends to show it off. We got cable installed and I’ve been researching things like the rates on www.ElectricCompaniesTexas.net and whether or not we want to put new sod down in the front. My husband is actually the one who loves decorating so he’s been online all day since we bought the place looking at patio furniture and paint colors and whatnot and I know he’s excited about all of us going down there and really making the place our own.
It’s going to be great to have a vacation home that we can leave clothes and sunscreen in but we need to eventually decide whether or not we’re going to rent it out when we’re not there. I’d like to avoid it so we can leave all our stuff out but it sure would help with the second mortgage we’ve taken on!
