I'm not assuming a major decline, I'm assuming no growth. Its no secret the
business' suffer in the winter months, if they didn't they would be open 7days
a week instead of 4days
Just because you and I love the beach in the winter, doesn't mean everyone else
will
I've watched this happen before in North Carolina, and its one of the reasons
there are so many rentals in Pier Village (and surrounding buildings)
Not to mention I see it every winter with my neighbors on 5th Ave, since I end
up shoveling their sidewalks/driveways (you're welcome guys and gals)
Now I'm not saying this would happen to EVERY condo purchased, but it would
happen, and having an even number of rentals to condos would help combat that

I don't think you could assume that "2nd Homes" would mean a major decline in
winter business. I originally bought my condo for "summer use", but find I use
it year round and found I love the winter at the beach.
