One out of every four baby boomer owns a second property – a vacation home, land or a rental property. Some of the buyers who are entering the market now are looking at properties that they can vacation in and then move into them after retirement.
Financing is currently tight for second home purchases and many buyers are buying properties with deep discounts by paying cash for the property. Second homes purchases are difficult to finance in current tight credit market, require high credit scores, and down payments as high as 20 percent.

It is important to consider the costs of owning multiple properties, including costs of finding tenants, making repairs and managing the property as a landlord.
