Montreal, Canada, February 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Many folks own lovely secondary homes that they enjoy, on average, some three months of the year and perhaps a few days during holiday seasons. The rest of the time, the home sits idle, but still running up costs – mortgage, maintenance, renovations, etc. Homeowners are beginning to realize that had they been renting out their secondary home during the past 10 years, while still enjoying it themselves, they could be some $250,000 richer today.(source RentforyourVacation.com - Survey)
There are many reasons why a homeowner might not currently be renting his or her secondary vacation home:
· Simply never thought about it
· Thought about it but too busy to sit down and make it happen
· Interested but don’t know where to start
· Worried that no one would want to rent it
· Concerned about possible damages
· Concerned that sharing the property with renters would make the home feel less like home
· Concerned about the time and patience it might take to rent and the skills required – setting rental rates, regulations, etc.
But more importantly:
· Never realized how much potential income they were leaving on the table
· Never thought about what they could do with this extra money
· Never realized all the options available out there and how creative one can be today
Rentforyourvacation.com publishes a blog for homeowners that helps them understand that they can have their cake and eat it too – they can enjoy their secondary vacation home and still leverage it for precious extra income.
“Every day, more and more homeowners are realizing that the multiple advantages of renting their secondary home to vacation renters far outweigh any disadvantages. “
