Do you watch Home and Garden TV? I enjoy watching a number of programs on that channel. I must say that their garden programing has gone downhill as there’s very few garden programs on these days, and when they are on it’s like five or six a.m.. Poor programming times if you ask me.

Some of the show I like watching are the European ones where they visit properties in the UK or Spain, and discuss having a second home, or a vacation home. I hadn’t really seriously thought of purchasing Overseas Properties before, but the more I see these types of programs, the more interested I become.

There’s a website called Property Mart Overseas, who’s actually sponsoring this post, and they list a number of Properties to buy overseas. I’ve been taking a look at it and there are some remarkably beautiful homes for sale on the site.

Considering that I’ve heard so much about people purchasing Properties Spain through the HGTV shows, I’ve focused on that area of the website. In their listings there are some properties that look almost like small castles. I love the look. That one, I’m sure is way out of my price range, but others are actually within a price range that I could afford- even taking into account my travel expenses back and forth from Canada a few times a year. They even have an interesting looking cave house listed.

Have you ever thought of purchasing a second property to use as a vacation home? Perhaps renting it out to others when you weren’t using it yourself? If you have, or if you already do, do that, what has your experience been like?
