    • A New Way to Increase Your Comfort Level 11/12/2009
    Although we own several vacation rental properties in the USA, we have not yet invested out of the country. Having lived and traveled a great deal in Brazil, I do have an eye on that country. Regardless of where we were to buy, our purchase would always be for investment with vacation rentals being the best bet for us as they can be made to carry the investment and even make a profit in some instances. Were we to purchase out of the country, I would continue to market the property as I do our USA vacation rentals. In addition to using traditional vr portals, I am now using social media to help promote our properties. One of these, Second Porch, a new app for Facebook, offers a glimpse into the vacation rental guest. It provides important information well beyond number in the party and city of origin. For me as a vacation rental owner, the more information I can gather on the guest, the more confidence I feel with that rental. Similarly, the guests can gather a good deal of information on me through Second Porch and hopefully that will provide confidence to them. If one is thinking of buying a property outside of the continental US, and considering either exchanging on that property for other vacation properties or renting it out to offset costs, Second Porch is one avenue that they should explore: www.secondporch.com
