Has anyone bought multiple personal homes?

That doesn't make any sense. If you think you could outlive your money how are you going to pay for the houses?

 

He sounds like a lunch counter expert to me.

 

Real estate appreciates in value.
Only down side is the property tax.
I am wanting to buy some unimproved lots in the desert where I could park and camp out a few times a year.
Less taxes on unimproved lots.

 

Secondary homes can be great investments as everything is a tax write off..good Tennant's is the key though..older folks usually won't tear stuff up as the younger partying crowd would...

 

I've considered it since I run a somewhat regular lane to western Canada. I also have friends out there I thought could rent from me. In the end I decided it would not be worth the effort. If I had money to burn that might be different. Or if I wanted to move my primary location to there. I am now considering the idea of the next truck being more custom, with a longer wheelbase (sometimes makes it difficult to comply with all cdn laws) a smaller sleeper, and a system to mount a motorcycle between the truck and trailer. I think that would be a lot more useful and fun than a property I am responsible for and rarely sleep in let alone put my eyes on it. A bike would mean I can actually take some time off and see the beach or other places trucks are not allowed. I guess a rental car would work too. I am more thinking I'd like to see all the stuff I drive past so many times. Mount Rushmore for one. Yellowstone. Etc. I will figure a way to make it happen and at the same time keep customers happy. Someday.

 

Then what are you doing in a truck?

Invest more in real estate and make good easy money.

 

I thought carefully before posting. I'll say this. Some of you will toss rotten tomatoes at me, but here goes.

If you have a significant other in every port across the USA you will have a home wherever you go.

The other part of this is never telling dispatch you have friends or family in any particular place you are taking time off in. They will be sure to route you away to keep you productive.

 

Ignorance and pessimism are running wild today.

"Don't buy something that will only appreciate in value over time. You need a big sleeper and some spinners. Look good going down the highway"

I have two homes. One's paid for, I never visit my mom lives there six months out of the year. My ranch will be paid off in the next three to five. Having houses is great, get as many as you can afford
