Hackney's Houses

I've been saying it for some time now and will continue to do so as it is time to be investing in real estate for your future.  Historically low mortgage rates that I just can't see continuing to drop or stay around much longer...plentiful inventory...And sellers wanting to get their homes sold.  It's a wonderful equation as long as you don't get caught up in the emotional deer in the headlights roller coaster of everyone else. 

There is a rising trend recently in the purchase of second homes.  In 2006, vacation home sales rose nearly 5%.  The average buyer was 44 years old with nearly one third of those already making plans to make the vacation home their full time residence.

I have personally made a 2nd home purchase in La Paz, Mexico.  It's not a time share and offers full ownership.  International home purchases are also on the rise.

Below you'll find a list of 5 Beautiful Places to own 2nd home on a budget.  I've got contacts in all these markets and in La Paz.  If you are interested in any of these areas, or want to see if I've got a contact in my national referral list in an area you are seeking, drop me a line or give me a call.
