A Vacation Property is classified as a Second Home even if you don’t own the house you’re using as your primary residence. For instance, if you’re renting in New York and you want to buy a vacation home in Los Angeles, banks will consider your Los Angeles property to be a Second Home. The requirements for a mortgage on a Vacation Property might be a little stricter than for a mortgage on a primary residence. So, if you want to buy a vacation home you should keep in mind few things about it:
It won’t be rented to other people for the sole purpose of producing income as in a non-owner occupied, rental property. It is normally 50 miles or more from your primary residence.
A Second Home is anything other than your primary residence that you plan to occupy sometime in the next twelve months, for some undetermined length of time.
