What do I need to get started?
1. Take a look at your finances
How much are you able to invest into this second home?
Your down payment? Monthly mortgage payments? Possibly initial repairs or new furniture, appliances, etc.
2. Determine your minimum requirements
What will this property be used for? Vacations? Weekends? A pied-à-terre in the city?
What should be included? Ex: Number of bedrooms, parking, easy access to public transportation, waterfront, secluded area, gated community, etc.
