4 Benefits of Owning a Second Home at the Lake of the Ozarks

Owning a second home at Missouri’s premier vacation destination, the Lake of the Ozarks, is a vision to many Midwesterners. The Lake of the Ozarks boasts more than 1,000 miles of shoreline that provide residents with nonstop opportunity for boating, skiing, waterfront dining and relaxing with family. If you’ve considered buying real-estate in the form of a second home at the Lake of the Ozarks, there are benefits a plenty.

1. Owning a second home at the Lake of the Ozarks offers buyers something special. 


Not only do lakefront or lake access properties offer instant entrance to the water where opportunity for fun is limitless, but the breathtaking Ozark sunsets are guaranteed. If boating is a central part of your summer fun, the Lake area is the perfect place to own a vacation home. Lakeside dining adds to the authenticity that is the Lake of the Ozarks and entertainment can be found every night of the week!

2. Your second home offers the potential to retire at the Lake of the Ozarks. 


The ideal scenario for many would involve finding and purchasing the perfect potential retirement destination well before reaching retirement age. If you’ve loved "The Lake" from afar and have the financial means to afford additional property, then buying a second home with the intent to retire in it may be the perfect option.

3. Your second home may have the potential to earn rental income.


To support the cost of owning a vacation property, consider the possibility of rental income. Hiring a Lake of the Ozarks property manager can help you determine a comfortable rental fee and help you get vacationers in your second home when you’re not using it. You can also rest assured that your home is in good hands while you're away.

4. Having a second home as a family getaway provides the chance to make memories.


Owning a Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental home provides a wonderful place to bond with extended family, create new traditions and make lasting memories with friends and family. Plus, you never have to look for a place to stay when you vacation at the Lake; you can use your home as often as you like.

If you have considered second home living, the Lake of the Ozarks is a leading Midwest destination, with the potential for fun at every turn.

Why Talk to a Property Manager BEFORE Purchasing a Vacation Property

I have received a number of calls over the past few months from people looking at the option of purchasing a home or condo and putting that property on a vacation rental program. I tell each of them that they have made a great choice in reaching out to a property manager "prior" to making their purchase. Why? Well, I have come across a few owners who made the mistake of purchasing a property that either could not be rented or that would be very difficult to rent.

Although we live in a summer vacation area, which in fact was recently voted as the number one recreational lake destination in the entire United States by readers of US Today, there are some areas that do not allow nightly rentals. There are also some areas and properties that aren't very desirable to someone vacationing at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Rules & Restrictions on Nightly Rentals 


A few years ago, I received a phone call from someone who had purchased a home in an area that did not allow nightly rentals. When I explained this to them, there was dead silence on the other end of the line. I can only imagine the conversation they had with their real estate agent. It is possible that they didn't tell the agent that they wanted to use the home as a vacation rental at the Lake of the Ozarks or that the agent just didn't know that there were restrictions on that type of usage.

Desirable Location and Amenities 


I have also had a number of calls from people who have purchased a condo at a complex that just is not very desirable for rentals. The complex may have a really small pool, a lack of boat slips, horrible location or no elevator and they just purchased a fourth floor unit. I recently looked at a condo with a real estate friend of mine and her client. When you opened the blinds, you were looking directly at another building on one side and a large tree with just a hint of water on the other side. Fortunately, her client didn't purchase that unit. That would have been a real challenge trying to rent it!

Why do people visit our beautiful area? The Lake! A waterfront home or condo at the Lake of the Ozarks, with a good view of the water, is possibly the most important selling point that your property can have. We frequently get asked by guests whether the property is "on the water." While other factors play a part in a guest's choice of properties, including location, amenities and how many people the property will sleep, at the end of the day, the single most important fact is that your home or condo be on the water, with a good or better yet, a great view of the lake.
