Vacations--a holiday from dull routine life, is something everyone deserves at least once a year. As far as I am concerned, I eagerly await that time. I long to just pack my bag and run far away from this monotonous everyday practice. I am sure everyone enjoys vacations. The only problem I face on a trip is the tiresome trouble of finding a hotel of my choice and in my price range; most of us have to juggle between quality and affordability, getting both at the same time is an impossible task. Many folks who face such a dilemma, end up buying a vacation home. In some cases, it makes sense to buy your own property at the place you love to vacation or retire. Imagine a different scenario though, where your “vacation home” is your favorite resort. What else one can wish for?

There are clearly many advantages of buying a second home at a nice peaceful resort. You get to own the place; it’s an asset and if it’s on a real prime location, then its price is likely to rise. You can decorate it the way you always wanted. If you do end up selling it, you can usually get your money back, and then some. Its a one time investment and your vacation will be quite economical every year otherwise. Moreover you can also rent it out throughout the year or when you are not using it and enjoy the profit.

Then there are side benefits of such an arrangement. Suppose you own a piece of property near a beach where you like to vacation with family. No doubt you’ll enjoy your stay there. But are you prepared to deal with the hassle of maintenance/expense of it’s upkeep and security? After all, you are responsible for all the upkeep of your property, from cutting grass to sanitary work. Property security too will be a constant risk with no one living in it. One can imagine it would be a bear to deal with all such issues. You may not be able to renovate it at the much needed times. If you do with to rent it out in off season, or when you can’t visit yourself you have to vet out the people who are likely to trash your dream home.

There are of course the alternatives. Timeshare is a short-term home owning opportunity. You can buy a vacation home for as little as one week of the year. By availing timeshare opportunity you may be able to enjoy your vacation inexpensively. In general, such properties cost less than staying in hotels. But on the other hand unlike your second home you’ll not get any income from it. Plus you never can predict the ultimate value of a timeshare, should you ever decide to sell it. After all, you are competing with the timeshare people.

In contrast to a timeshare, investment in a fractional ownership allows you to hold on to your partially owned vacation property for much longer time periods. So by investing on fractional ownership vacation homes you can come to your favorite resort as many times as you want, Addition it will definitely cost you less than a comparable stay in a hotel. The price margin for fractional vacation homes for sale is quite fair. So you can also get this financial benefit out of it. On the other hand, the drawback is that you have to coordinate your stay with other people. Furthermore, as these sorts of vacation homes are not rented out, you’ll not be able to get any extra income.

The options we discussed above excluding buying a second home don’t make you a sole owner of any vacation property. If you want to buy a property but also think that you cannot take care of it, plus you are charmed by the idea of getting additional income, the hotel-vacation-home may just be the ticket for you. The way it works is, that you buy luxury vacation home or a vacation home, which is actually a room in a hotel; you buy it and spend your holidays in it any time around the year you want. When you buy a nice furnished room in a hotel, the first benefit is you don’t have to decorate it; it’s already done for you. Room service? You got it! Furthermore you can rent it out. You also don’t have to take extra headaches of maintaining it; the hotel will do that for you. There is a good chance that you can sell it at a great price.

If it seems too good to be true, then it may be so in some of the cases. Like if you buy a room in a hotel and you rent it out afterwards the income would be shared with the hotel. On the other hand, if you room is not rented out you still have to pay the maintenance charges. Then renting out is also very tricky, as you yourself would like to use the room in the prime vacation season. That is why its very difficult to decide when you are going to use it and when to rent it out. The difficult choices are what make life interesting. To talk in more concrete terms, say you long for the beach fun. Perhaps a vacation place in San Diego is what the doctor ordered. San Diego is a paradise of beaches, splashing clear water, sandy coastline a desire of beach admirers.

There are choices for a hotel-vacation-room available in San Diego. Staying in a San Diego hotel and navigating through it’s hotel inventory and paying the prime prices can get tricky though. There are several projects going on including Hard Rock Hotel that is consisted on 420 rooms all condo-hotel rooms for tourist. The price range in San Diego starts from a dollar400,000 "studio suite," with a kitchen area and one bathroom, to a dollar2.3 million two-bedroom property that's more similar to an actual condo than a hotel room. Not for everyone, I admit, but definitely an option to consider if you are at a certain price/benefit point.

In case you are intrigued by this option, here are a few tips to consider. Try to project the hotel occupancy rate, as well as the share of hotel rent that you would get out of it. Unless there is a drastic change in the economy, you should be able to predict your income from such a property. This would, in turn be sufficient data for you to do a cost-benefit analysis.

Obviously other options such as timeshares in San Diego as well as fractional units in San Diego also exist. There are few things you should consider before buying any vacation home fully or partially. The location of house is the main key. If a vacation home situated at a prime location, its price would be definitely higher. And on the other hand if you buy a property a bit away from residential area, that area may not be heavily traveled and could be security risk. But then the return would be also much better. For instance, if you rent out your vacation home that is near a beach, you can enjoy the scenic beauty as well as you’ll be getting good money out of it.
