RealTown Bloggers and e-PROs Meet In Person in Ocean City
 One of the bonuses of traveling to meetings around the country is the chance to meet fellow bloggers and e-PROs in person. Last week Joeann Fossland and I were in Ocean City, MD, to present an e-PRO Workshop for local REALTORS and we had the good fortune to meet e-PRO Susan Pruden, who drove up from Prince George's County. Susan has been an e-PRO for years, blogs at RealTown (Real Estate Bits and Pieces), is a No Blogger Left Behind alumna, and she uses a Point2 web site quite effectively! Susan is doing things right!
Joeann and I will be hosting additional workshops in June. We hope to meet more e-PROs and bloggers as well as REALTORS taking the next steps to advance their tech expertise.
Joeann's June schedule (Arizona):

Vacation and Second Home Market Blog Content
Are you working in a vacation or second home market? HomeAway's Christine Karpinski shared thoughts about thriving markets and ideas for content with real estate editors at last week's Spring Journalism Conference in Dallas.
Buyers Seeks Vacation Homes in Their Comfort Zone
Karpeinksi points to healthy vacation home markets (in no particular order):
- Outer Banks,NC
- Steamboat Springs, CO
- Lake Tahoe, CA
- Park City, UT
- Galveston, TX
- The Pocono Mtns., PA
- The Smokey Mtns, TN
- Branson, MO
- Virginia Beach, VA
- Panama City Beach, FL
Consumers need to read about:
- Homeowners insurance. In some areas of the country that have been hit by major storms, the cost of property insurance is cost prohibitive. Flood insurance is often not available for investment properties and buyers who expect to rent their vacation home must exercise caution and consider price and availability.
- New financing guidelines. The credit climate is placing greater emphasis on fully documented loans, better credit scores, and higher down payments.
- Non-homestead property tax issues. Analyze and present issues that an out-of-area buyer may consider before making a purchase decision.
- Restrictions on short-term rentals. Many municipalities are placing limitations and bans on short-term rentals. Maui and Santa Fe are two recent examples finding investor owners at odds with local governing authorities on the matter of rental properties.
- HOA restrictions. Ask questions about matters before local Homeowner Associations and take a pulse of the market.
- Properties on government protected land
- All aspects of owning and renting vacation homes!
