Making the decision requires taking a hard look at your finances.

Is your financial house in order? Do you have enough in savings and are your retirement funds healthy?

Investopedia considers this very question.

Regardless of how you choose to purchase your vacation home, it’s a great time to invest in real estate. Recent figures from the National Association of Realtors show an upward trend in the number of second homes purchased—many for investment purposes. This too is an option in the Sunday River area, especially with week/weekend rentals.

Getting ready to purchase any home takes preparation, but with rates this historically low, this is an opportunity to make your money work for you.
