A property is viewed as a How the IRS defines a second home for tax purposes The IRS defines a second home based on how much you use it personally versus how much you rent it out. For a property to qualify, your personal use of it needs to be more than the greater of either 14 days or 10% of the days you rent it out at a fair market price.  While the tax rules are key, lenders also have their own requirements. They often look for things like the property being a single home (not a Here are other common characteristics of second homes: Tax implications when your second home is a personal residence Second homes come with a host of possible tax benefits from the IRS, but they depend on two key factors: whether you’re living in your second home more than you rent it out and how much money you’re taking in income from tenants. Let’s dive into the specifics: Mortgage interest deduction If you rent out your home for less than 15 days a year, it’s considered a personal residence and you’re eligible for itemized deductions like any other homeowner.  For properties purchased after December 15, 2017, you can deduct mortgage interest on up to $750,000 of qualifying home acquisition debt across both your primary and second homes. Under Home equity interest deduction In addition to deducting mortgage interest, you may also be able to write off interest paid on a This means you can't deduct interest on a home equity loan if you use the money for other purposes, like consolidating credit card debt or paying for a child's college tuition. This deduction is also subject to the same $750,000 combined mortgage debt limit that applies to your primary mortgage. Property tax deduction You can This limit, which was recently increased by H.R. 1, applies to the total of these taxes paid on all of your personal residences if you Tax implications when your second home is a rental property If you rent out your second home for more than 14 days per year, the property is considered a rental for tax purposes. This changes the tax rules significantly, as the property can no longer be classified as a personal residence. What about capital gains when selling? When you sell a second home, any profit you make from the sale is generally subject to capital gains tax on a second home. This is a key difference from selling a primary residence, which may qualify for a significant tax exclusion. Where the Pacaso model fits in The Once you understand the tax rules, it’s easy to maximize the financial benefits of your second home.

Your second home should be a place to relax and unwind—not a source of stress. Yet too often, homeowners find themselves weighed down by the realities of vacation home management, from routine maintenance and bill payments to scheduling repairs. While some properties offer basic vacation home management services to handle these tasks between visits, Pacaso takes it further with fully managed co-ownership and turnkey property management.  Here’s a closer look at what vacation home management typically involves, and how Pacaso’s approach goes above and beyond traditional solutions. Here’s what professional Property maintenance and upkeep Routine maintenance is at the heart of vacation home management. This includes landscaping, inspections, and repairs to keep the property in top condition year-round. Proper upkeep not only preserves your home’s value but also ensures it’s always ready for a relaxing stay. Many vacation home management companies will also be responsible for seasonal upkeep like leaf removal and snow clearing to keep the home in pristine condition year-round. Vacation home cleaning services Between stays, homes require thorough cleaning and preparation. Cleaning and turnover services make certain that every visit feels relaxed and welcoming, from fresh linens to spotless kitchens and bathrooms. Financial management and bill handling Managing a vacation home involves more than upkeep. The best property managers often include handling utilities, taxes, HOA fees, and insurance—freeing owners from the administrative burdens of property ownership. Guest and owner access coordination Scheduling stays, managing keys or smart locks, and coordinating arrivals and departures is another critical component of vacation home management services. Effective access coordination ensures that both owners and guests have a smooth, stress-free experience. Security and home monitoring Finally, professional vacation home management services often include monitoring the property to safeguard against issues while the home is unoccupied. This can range from smart home alerts to routine inspections, giving owners peace of mind no matter where they are. The challenges with vacation home management companies Even with professional management, many homeowners face challenges that can make vacation home ownership stressful. Understanding these common pain points helps find the best vacation home management solution for you. High costs and hidden fees Many traditional vacation home management companies charge steep service fees, often with extra costs for maintenance, turnover, or concierge services. These expenses can add up, cutting into the enjoyment and financial value of owning a second home, so it’s important to consider Impersonal interactions Some vacation home property managers operate like faceless service providers. Owners may find communication transactional, with little personalized attention or understanding of their preferences and lifestyle. Difficulty reaching support Getting timely help can be a challenge, especially when urgent maintenance issues arise or last-minute scheduling changes are needed. Limited responsiveness can leave owners feeling frustrated or unsupported by their vacation home manager. Limited flexibility Traditional management companies may not accommodate unique homeowner needs, whether that’s last-minute bookings, customizing interior touches, or coordinating with family schedules. Inconsistent standards Not all vacation home management companies maintain the same level of quality across cleaning, maintenance, and upkeep. This inconsistency can affect the guest experience and the property’s long-term condition.

Timeshares have been around since 1969, and sales show no sign of slowing, growing an average of 7.2% annually. This is mostly due to millennials becoming a significant portion of timeshare owners, with many seeking flexible and diverse vacation experiences. This steady growth shows people are continuing to be interested in this vacation style, especially now that there are way more ownership choices to fit all sorts of travel tastes. Our guide covers different timeshare types, including fixed-week, floating-week, and points-based systems. We'll also detail the costs of owning a timeshare, like the purchase price and maintenance fees, so that you can decide on your vacation goals. How do timeshares work? In a timeshare, multiple individuals (usually up to 52) collectively invest in and share the use of a vacation property Timeshares operate on It's crucial to understand that with timeshares, Real-world timeshare example Let’s say your family buys a timeshare property in If you vacation there for 10 years straight, you’ll have spent $38,000 ($25,000 initial cost + $1,300 annual fee x 10 years) plus any additional maintenance fees. Divided across 140 nights (14 per year), that adds up to $271 per night, which may be cheaper than the cost of the room if you book on the resort’s website. The potential savings via a long-term contract are why some people find timeshares so appealing. Types of timeshares There are a lot of timeshares out there, and not all timeshares or Shared deed timeshares Shared deeds divide ownership into smaller parts that reflect how long you can stay. A timeshare that’s divided into two-week stays would have 26 simultaneous owners, and it’s not uncommon for deeds to have a 52-part split, one for each week of the year. Shared lease timeshares Shared leases are like an apartment you’re paying to stay in a few weeks out of the year, but you commit to a certain period. The kicker here is that you don’t get a deed because How timeshares are split Now that you understand how the two types of contracts work, let’s look at the three main ways to divide time for timeshare properties.  To avoid a Ultimately, ask yourself: "Is this a place I want to stay year after year?" This can help you determine if a timeshare is right for you. Fixed weeks Fixed weeks mean you’re locked into the same week every year (say, the third week in April). While this offers the predictability of always having your vacation secured at a specific time, it also means your travel dates are rigid. Changing your fixed week usually comes with a hefty price tag in the form of an upgrade fee, if it's even possible, making it less flexible for those whose schedules vary from year to year. Floating weeks Floating weeks let you choose your week seasonally. This offers more flexibility than a fixed week, since you're not tied to the exact same dates every year. However, that flexibility comes with a trade-off: floating week systems are very competitive among timeshare owners, and the best slots during high season get snapped up quickly.  You'll often need to book far in advance to secure your preferred dates. If keeping your Points system Some timeshare properties operate with a points system, similar to an airline. You “pay” for your stay with points, giving you greater flexibility in how you travel. This means you're not restricted to a single property or a specific time slot each year.  Choosing an off-season, weekday stay or downgrading to a smaller room may cost fewer points overall, allowing you to stretch your points for more frequent, shorter getaways or save them up for something bigger. By contrast, you can also use points to upgrade components of your vacation, such as getting a bigger room or a better view — or even enjoy another How much does a timeshare cost? A timeshare's cost involves two main components: an initial purchase price and ongoing annual fees. The initial cost to buy a timeshare is In addition to the upfront payment, you'll be responsible for annual maintenance fees and any other charges outlined in your contract for the lifetime of your timeshare. These fees cover essential expenses such as maintenance, utilities and property taxes. They average around Timeshares vary in format, ranging from fixed-week to floating-week systems, and this can also influence the overall costs associated with them. Be sure to check the terms of your timeshare contract before signing. This document should outline all of the one-time and ongoing costs, including: Financing a timeshare Banks usually don’t loan money for timeshares, so buyers have few financing options other than the timeshare company itself. Little competition means some timeshare companies use high-pressure sales tactics on potential buyers, plus  14-20% interest rates — way higher than most This can significantly increase the overall cost of a timeshare, making it crucial for potential buyers to scrutinize the full financial commitment before signing any agreements. You might consider using a Pros and cons of timeshares You may fall in love with timeshares because they’re in destinations with lots to do. Some timeshares allow you to trade locations with other owners, use some of your nights to explore somewhere new or let your friends and family members use your nights.  Unfortunately, timeshares also have quite a few detractors. Annual fees and special assessments can be expensive, and if you decide it’s no longer the right choice for you, timeshares can be hard to sell on the secondary market. The timeshare industry also gets a bad rap for pushy sales tactics. Timeshare ownership also sidesteps most of the fiscal advantages that owning real estate normally brings, like equity, Exiting a timeshare If a buyer eventually decides to sell their timeshare, The second home difference One of the main reasons people choose a timeshare over another type of getaway — like Although With Here’s one last major difference: You’re guaranteed far more than a week’s stay — on average, owners of a 1/8 share in a And should you decide to sell, you can sell at any time, at the price you set. Learn more about how

If you invest in a fractional ownership of a holiday home, you'd have the right to use that property for a predetermined number of days or weeks annually. This approach allows individuals to enjoy the benefits of owning premium assets without bearing the full financial burden alone. In this post, you’ll learn what fractional ownership is, explore its pros and cons and get answers to some frequently asked questions. Understanding fractional ownership You’ll typically find fractional ownership for real estate like vacation homes. However, fractional ownership can also come into play for art, stocks and fashion. When owners purchase real estate assets with fractional ownership, they’re issued deeds representing their fraction of the property.  How fractional ownership works It may sound complicated, but fractional property ownership is pretty cut and dry. Here’s how it works: Types of fractional ownership There are two main types of fractional property ownership structures: an entity, like an LLC, and tenancy in common. Fractional ownership through an entity Some properties split ownership by using a structural entity like an Tenancy in common Tenancy in common (TIC) means each tenant holds an individual deed for a fraction or percentage of a commercial or residential property. However, no one person or company is in charge. With a TIC, individuals can own different percentages of the property but share it equally. Some TIC agreements are self-managed. Fractional ownership vs. timeshares Timeshares may be shared by as many as 52 owners (one person or group for every week of the year) while fractionally owned properties can have as few as two owners.  Benefits of fractional ownership Fractional ownership has many benefits, including shared maintenance costs and upkeep, among others. Here are some of those benefits: Expanded opportunity to own Fractional real estate investments allow you to own a portion of Deeded ownership Unlike a timeshare, fractional home ownership gives you a deed to a fraction of the property itself (sometimes called a Usage rights Unlike short-term Shared upkeep and maintenance costs Using the fractional ownership model, you're also responsible for only a fraction of the property's upkeep and maintenance. This includes taxes, HOA fees, repair bills, landscaping, utilities, Lower upkeep and maintenance burden Most fractional real estate ownership agreements include provisions for long-term property management, with owners deciding how to handle any issues. Maintenance of When you have fractional vacation home ownership through an entity, it will include preventative and Cons of fractional ownership Though fractional ownership has advantages, there are a few drawbacks to consider.  Fewer financing options Fewer banks provide mortgages for those looking to buy properties fractionally. You may need to shop around or consider other ways to Less flexibility and freedom All decisions about maintenance, repairs and decor must go through all ownership partners, which can be a hassle. If you want to sell a fractional property, the other fractional owners must approve the sale, depending on your agreement.  Some fractional property ownership clubs also require you to maintain an agreement with the club or property management company associated with the home, with no option for self-management or management outside the company. Limited travel opportunities While it's not unheard of to own shares in multiple fractional ownership properties in different locations, investing in fractional ownership also means investing in the location you’re going to revisit. Of course, you can still vacation elsewhere, but it's something to factor into your travel plans and budget.  Similar alternatives to fractional ownership Where fractional ownership falls short, Pacaso steps up. Pacaso's professionally managed LLC co-ownership model gives you all the perks and lower co-ownership costs with key differences that set it apart from fractional ownership resort clubs. Unlike fractional ownership resorts, Pacaso offers LLC

You’ve probably seen vacation home listings on Though you can book most vacation rentals for a few nights or weeks, each state has its own qualifiers for short-term rental properties. We’ll share the pros and cons, and additional considerations potential owners should bear in mind. Understanding short-term rentals Over the last 10 years, vacation rental brands like Seasonality, however, can also play a part in whether a rental will be in demand — meaning owners might have to give up personal stays during the most popular times of the year. Owners are also responsible for cleaning, coordination and maintenance to keep the short-term rental property in guest-ready condition. How short-term rentals work Many people who Because people on vacation will most often use short-term rentals, stays might vary from a few nights to several weeks. Sometimes, renters may lease them for as long as a month. Anything under six months is generally considered a short-term rental. Ultimately, your local jurisdiction defines what a short-term rental is for your area. What’s considered a short-term rental in each state? Local restrictions are a critical factor for anyone considering Owners should verify local regulations, zoning, taxes and licensing with their city or state government website for specific details about what qualifies as a short-term rental in their area before leasing their property. Types of short-term rentals Many The type of short-term rental you operate can affect how you operate your vacation rental business. It’s important to correctly categorize your vacation rental so that you pay the appropriate taxes and apply for the right zoning permits. Entire homes Airbnb and Accessory dwellings Accessory dwellings are sometimes known as in-law suites because they often take the form of cozy detached studios complete with an en-suite bathroom and comfortable furnishings — perfect for when the parents are in town. An ADU is generally on the same property as the primary residence and can potentially include a private entrance. Rooms Some jurisdictions allow homeowners to rent out a room in their primary residence as a short-term rental. The room can serve one or multiple guests at a time and can potentially include access to shared spaces like a kitchen or yard. Like an accessory dwelling, private rooms can sometimes include private entrances. Comparing long-term to short-term rentals Both short-term and long-term rentals are investment properties that homeowners can use to generate rental income. The length of the lease between owner and tenant often determines which type of rental agreement both parties will abide by. A long-term rental is generally a lease agreement for tenants who live at a rental property for at least 90 days, although some landlords require a minimum of 180 days or a full calendar year.  A short-term rental, however, is generally available to lease for less than 30 consecutive days. Compared to a long-term rental, owning a short-term vacation has its fair share of unique Considerations before investing in short-term rentals Short-term rentals require homeowners to abide by local vacation rental rules and regulations. There are several factors to consider before investing in a vacation rental. To operate a short-term rental, owners need to: A short-term rental investment property generates income from short-term leases. Short-term rentals can take the form of entire homes, ADUs or rooms within your primary residence.  Although vacation rentals can potentially yield rental income, they also come with a fair share of property management and tenant communication. If you’re more interested in relaxing than running a business, consider becoming a Co-owning a luxury second home has never been easier. Unlike vacation rentals, a
