What to compare before you buy

Look beyond the asking price. Coastal ownership can involve flood and wind insurance, condominium or HOA assessments, salt-air maintenance, rental restrictions, parking limitations and seasonal congestion. Those factors can be just as important as bedrooms and ocean views.

Buying for personal use vs. rental income

A home that is perfect for family weekends may not be the property that produces the strongest rental economics. If rental income matters, evaluate local regulations, management costs, seasonality and realistic occupancy assumptions separately from your personal preferences.
