Isn't going on vacation the best?

What if you had your own place to go? What if it is easier than you thought?

Basics on buying a vacation home and getting a second home mortgage:

-Property must be habitable year round. (running water, electricity, etc.)
-Owner must intend to occupy the property partially throughout the year.
-Single family, condo, townhome are okay. No multi-unit homes.
-At least 10% down.
-Good credit.
-Conventional financing. No government loans (FHA, VA, USDA).
