There are many steps to consider when buying your first vacation home. These days it is imperative that you find a broker looking out for your interests. I recommend strongly to sign up with a buyer broker that by law is liable for your interests but is still paid by the seller. A buyer broker will also do a comprehensive search of all properties for sale, not just push their listings or their office listings. Once you have your broker you can begin by getting pre-approved for a loan by contacting your bank and other lenders that your broker can assist you with. You can then figure out with your broker what you would like the vacation home to have and what you can afford.
I believe in location, location, and location for future appreciation as well as rental potential. It is great to buy the best that you can afford. Your broker can help you decide whether it is worth it to rent out your vacation home or not. It can be very exciting to look for your first vacation home. But in real estate, deals can fall through. It is important to have a broker that will walk you through the purchase contract and recommended inspections of the properties. Many purchase contracts for Aspen and Snowmass real estate are now done with both the buyer and seller being out of town. Closings are handled by email, fax, and overnight mail, but you have to have a broker that can navigate you through these steps. An honest buyer broker can make buying a vacation home a pleasant experience that will end with you enjoying your new home away from home.
