Get preapproved for a mortgage. This is a critical step, particularly if you already have a home loan and will add to your debt level. Depending on what you owe on your
primary residence, you may be limited by what a lender is willing to give you for a vacation home mortgage. Alternatively, look into refinancing your primary residence at a lower rate
for cash to buy a second home. See How to Shop for a Mortgage and How to Refinance Your Home.
Think about what sort of vacation home you want: a cabin, a house or a condo? Condos come with additional issues, such as home owners associations
Buying a vacation home--that haven away from it all--is an enticing thought, but the process is subject to the same practical considerations as any other financial decision you may
make. Know what you're looking for, shop aggressively and pay attention to the numbers to ensure you walk away with the best deal possible.

If using the fold and stack method, try to think chronologically, placing the items to be worn first on the top. This will prevent rummaging around the suitcase for a specific item while disrupting the rest.
Always pack tightly. Packing loosely wastes precious space and causes clothes to wrinkle. Eliminate wasted space, such as the insides of shoes, which are perfect for socks or underwear. Also, your supply of disposable diapers can be used to protect cameras and small electrical items, and they can be folded or rolled to fill small voids in the suitcase.

A majority of vacation rentals tend to be cheaper on a per night
basis than their hotel counterpart. By renting directly from the
owner you will avoid taxes, tips and other extraneous charges.
However, there is a wide variation among costs based on a number
of factors (see How Much Should I Expect to Pay below)
Of course, there's always the other side of the coin. As
vacation rentals are not usually monitored by a central managing
company, you'll only know what you're getting yourself into when
you actually arrive to your rental. Many owners require
pre-payment, or at least a large deposit fee, before arriving.
Therefore, if things aren't the way you anticipated after
arriving, or if you find your dwelling unacceptable and decide
to head to a local hotel, you may lose any money you prepaid.
This is also true for last minute cancellations. There isn't
usually a refund. You always run the risk of getting less than
you expected, but, it's rare.
Most times, vacation rentals tend to be cheaper than an average
hotel room per night. But, not always, so make sure you are
comfortable with the price you will be asked to pay.
Another disadvantage to vacation rentals is the lack of a
managing member on site to deal with any problems that you may
encounter with the home or during your stay in general. Most
owners get around this by having a list of emergency numbers,
utility companies and other such items available to the renter
should they need anything.
