Home buyers in search of the perfect location to buy a second home must consider many factors before making their investment. Whether they’re prioritizing locations with favorable tax laws or properties that will be more lucrative as vacation rentals, the process of finding a second home can often be challenging and time-consuming.

As such, buyers are increasingly looking to branded residences in some of the top secondary markets for investing in high-end real estate. Combining the amenities and services one would expect from a five-star hotel with the prestige associated with some of the top hospitality brands in the world, branded residences often retain their value at a higher level than unbranded residences, making them ideal investments.
