I have seen many reasons for investing in rental properties, but one reason that I had never seen anyone mentioning before was the possibility of using that rental property investment as a vacation home. At least not until I was looking at the GMAC Real Estate website at the link above.
It makes perfect sense, however, that you could buy real estate as investment property and then set it up so that it was available for you during certain times of the year. Say you buy property in a hot tourist destination and rent it out by the week. Set aside which weeks you want to be able to use the vacation home, then rent it during the other parts of the year for enough to make the payments on the property plus extra for utilities, insurance, maintenance and any other requirements of renting the property out.

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.
I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.
Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.
If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.
Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
