Whether for family vacations or rental income, second homes and investment properties are different animals. A second home is primarily for personal use, an investment property to generate income. Each has distinct rules for financing and taxes. Be clear about how you’ll use a property before buying.

In short, if inflation remains in check, the Fed faces less pressure to keep policy restrictive, and firms benefit from steadier demand and less uncertainty.
