Читать книгу Buy & Sell Recreational Property in Canada - Geraldine Santiago - Страница 34

Is the area in which you are planning to purchase ideal for year-round activities or only for seasonal activities? If you owned a recreational home in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, for example, you could enjoy swimming, boating, and waterskiing in the summer, skiing in the winter, and wine festivals throughout most of the year. This provides the recreational-home owner with maximum enjoyment of the property.

If you intend to use your property year-round, you should be looking for a property that is winterized — property that can be used and occupied during the winter period. Non-winterized properties need to be prepared for vacancy during winter months. For example, waterlines must be drained and water supply shut off.
