I get asked this question almost everyday and we are seeing this trend gain popularity now more than ever. With the prices of homes in Las Vegas the lowest they have been in 20 years and interest rates in the high 3's, people are buying thier retirement home at todays market prices.
Many baby boomers are nearing retirement age between now and 2015, so getting that home with golf amenities, pools, etc at todays prices make sense. If you can afford to use it as a vacation home in the meantime, even better. I have sold homes recently to clients who buy in golf communities and are seeing great cash flow as executive rentals for the next 2-3 years until they are ready to retire. What better use of your financial resources, right?
If you have would like to discuss the viablity of purchasing the home that you will call "home" after you retire, please call me and we can discuss it in further details. Also, to set up your own home search, please go to my website at www.tonypinneri.com and follow the search tabs.
Have a wonderful day!
