The B&B as a Vacation Home and Early Retirement Income Stream

A vacation home can also become an early retirement income. Take, for example, the small Bed and Breakfast (B&B) as a possibility. For some, there is nothing like a creative challenge to fuel the mind and spirit and keep you on your toes. And this a B&B supplies. Of course you will want to consider factors such as the tourist industry in the area, (Asheville’s is very

strong,) and proximity to amenities, resources, and medical facilities and your own financial planning, and the fact that

Asheville, NC is #1 on the 2010 TopReirement.com’s list of most popular towns in which to retire (as it has been since 2007.)

A poll – “ What draws people to Asheville?” of the Carolina Mornings Team revealed: Asheville’s mountain vistas• Carolina Blue skies and colorful seasons• Recreational opportunities • Cultural opportunities • The incredible music scene • Tailgate Markets with locally-grown produce

TopReirement.com’s answers: Water everywhere for fishing, boating, swimming • Wide range of upscale housing opportunities for seniors • Interesting, walkable and dynamic downtown • Mild climate year round • Blue Ridge Mountains and Parkway • Biltmore Estate • Trolley tours

Asheville’s wonderful combination of all of these and more have made it a perennial favorite not only for retirees, but for tourists. In fact, the local economy is driven to a significant degree by tourism.

NOTE: One of the best ways to understand the daily adventure of the life of the owner of a B&B scene is to try inn-sitting.

Currently there are several B&Bs on the market here in the Asheville area. Please contact us for more information.
