Some states charge a higher property tax to non-residents and it can be substantially higher (florida is one). There is also insurance again, Florida with hurricanes can be pricy. The other concerns and one that has stopped us from buying is the concern about the property when you're not there. Again, Florida is where we were looking, very reasonable purchase prices, but when you're away for months at a time you will need someone or a property management company to check on it. From our perspective it makes more sense to rent a place for 8-10 weeks rather than the cost associated with purchasing. It also gives the flexibility of changing up where you go in the future.
