Summary: Great Book! I can't put it down!
Review: My husband and I are building a vacation rental. This book has been great for us. If you are thinking of investing in a second home it gives you all the information on how to go about buying. It has the advantages & disadvantages & how you could meet trouble. We had already bought our property before the book. Now that I've read the book. It's got me excited to look for a 3rd home after our house is done being built. You might as well have fun in your vacation home & make $ at the same time. Read the book, you'll like it!

Summary: Very helpful
Review: This is a helpful little book, which boils down the basics into very readable form. In searching for vacation home information, we also wanted more on home design, styles, and so on, and discovered a colorful, large new book called Second Home, which mixes tours of real houses around the country with great tips on such things as finding the location that's right for you, plus building, decorating, and remodeling information. I highly recommend both Second Home and The Complete Guide to Second Homes.

Summary: Waste of money
Review: This should be a book about a *second* home. Presumably, the reader already has bought a first home. Or so I thought. The advice in this books is either (1) elementary real estate info that all homeowners understand or (2) simple common sense. I gave up when one piece of advice was "Don't overpay." Don't bother.
