Special Considerations for Buying a Second Home in Arizona
A second home can be a valuable investment, especially in a fast-growing
market like Scottsdale and Phoenix. Prices are rising, but
when compared to many other destinations Scottsdale offers
great investment value with favorable tax laws.
For example, financing for a second home is different in many states, often costing about 1/2 to 1 point more than a primary residence. But Arizona’s tax law allows a second home at a primary home's mortgage interest rate, and you still get the mortgage write-off. That is, up to certain limits, depending on how the property is used and its value. As well, changes in the federal income tax laws offer a variety of possible new tax breaks and deductions.
Getting the most value when buying a second home calls for specialized knowledge.
A vacation or second home real estate agent is very different from a regular real estate agent in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area. You’ll want to work with a second home or vacation home specialist, such as Warren Neal of Scottsdale & Phoenix Real Estate Connection.

As a specialist in second homes, he is prepared to answer many questions that another local realtor likely wouldn’t know how to answer.
