Owning a summer home is a dream for many Americans. The annual costs of keeping a summer home, however, remains a significant hurdle for most. You could try to make your second home a vacation rental to subsidize the costs or even get a return on your investment, but that's a lot of work most are equipped to handle.

Paul Kromidas, CEO and Founder of Summer joins Tech Nest to discuss these topics and more. Summer is working to create a better path to ownership of vacation homes. Homes that owners can use when they want, and rent out the rest of the year. One unique concept Summer is bringing to market is a gradual ownership model—a totally unique offering in the vacation or second homes market.

Vacation rentals have been all the hubbub this year. Listen in to Paul as he'll shed light on where the industry is and where it has room to grow.
