Click to expand... Was going to ask a similar question - i.e. buy a small place in the 'ideal' beach loc and then rent (hopefully cheaper) elsewhere, whilst using the beach property as an asset - AirBnB etc. Keeps 'a foot in the door' on the coast and possibly brings in a little surplus, but this would deny the joys (cough, choke) of home ownership.... A similar thing has happened with prices in the UK. I live a similar distance to the beach as you Cheyne and a fixer upper just a few houses away went for almost twice as much as we paid for our place about 8yrs ago. The past 12 months has been crazy. |
