Article Abstract:
Holiday houses are good personal investments for quality of life issues, but do not expect them to out perform other investments. The downside of owning a vacation home should be considered. Popular resort spots often change from year to year and the supply of holiday homes does not exceed the public's demand. Maintenance costs, taxes and insurance must also be considered when looking at holiday property for investment purposes.
