Maryland Location Ranks 4th for Vacation Homes

Maryland homes are sought after for home vacation rental. Thinking about real estate in Maryland for investment.

Looking for a great investment, what about a vacation home.

Report came out that took over 12-months, shows Ocean City rank 4th in the country as sought for location vacation homes among Americans looking on-line for vacation homes.  North of Elkridge Deep Creek Lake (McHenry) also ranked in the top 10.   

With families wanting to stay closer to home to save money, but still wanting a get away vacation home rental is on the rise.  When looking for a vacation rental location, think about where would you like to stay.  Keeping in mind the scenery, location, amenities and things to do.  Is the location family friendly or urban chic? What about a Howard county farmhouse with a lake, a condo over looking the skyline of Baltimore or even a home in downtown Annapolis.

When purchasing vacation home, keep in mind what weekly income you can receive on the home.  What would be the prime time of the vacation home and charge accordingly. What do you think the vacancy rate might be on the home.  There is a speed sheet I use to see if it looks like a good investment home.  Also is it a home you like to get away to once in a while. 

Any way you look at it, it's a still a great time to add real estate to your investment pro-folio.
