The second home is a purchase from the heart, a choice based more on emotional criteria than rational ones. One buys in a much-loved place, where one wants to spend free time and vacations, and, why not, where the real estate can perhaps earn income for brief periods.
Having said this, the purchase of a second home brings with it a series of expenses that range from taxes to maintenance (more significant on the seaside). But real estate remains an investment over time, even if the value fluctuates based on market cycles.
