Helpful Realtors

I enjoyed David Myers’ article “Investment in Vacation Homes” (Feb. 1) immensely. A responsible realtor can advise on non-owner-occupied interest rates, watching your home when you are unable to be there, and appreciation rates in your chosen area. Many areas (especially coastal resort areas) have building restrictions and can affect greatly your investment. An example, here in Cambria (near Hearst Castle) appreciation of homes has increased substantially due to a three-year waiting period to build on vacant lots.
