What to Know Before Buying a Vacation Home on Marco Island

Buying a Vacation Home on Marco Island - Marco Island Real Estate Listings

Before you buy a home in your favorite vacation spot – Marco Island, of course – there are a couple of things you need to think about to ensure you’re making the best possible decision.

What to Know Before Buying a Vacation Home on Marco Island

The first thing to ask yourself is whether you plan to rent out your home while you’re not using it; that can have a big impact on your decision, particularly because many condo and homeowner’s associations have specific rules governing rentals.

Many people choose to buy vacation homes without renting them out, which is a great idea if you want an “anytime escape” (especially if you’re dodging wintry weather up North!).

If you’re thinking about buying a vacation home on Marco Island, ask yourself:

  • Does it fit into your financial plans? Just like your primary home, you can’t count on selling it (or making a profit, for that matter).
  • What are the total costs, including utilities, HOA or condo fees, and property taxes? What about insurance, furnishing the home and the recreational gear you’ll need to keep there?
  • Would you make a profit on rental income, or would you break even? Would you make less than what you’d need to cover the mortgage?
  • Who can keep track of the home when you’re not in it? How will you protect it when it’s vacant?

Buying a vacation home on Marco Island can be a fantastic idea, especially if you intend to transition to it as a full-time residence after retirement or you plan on using it frequently.
