Tips on a Dual Purpose Las Vegas Home Once you and your broker have identified a second home, the following are tips to protect your second home investment: Develop a trustworthy contact who lives near your new home, either a neighbor or a paid caretaker, to keep an eye on the property and collect mail that accumulates. Make sure this person has all of the necessary information to contact you. To make the home appear to be fully occupied, ask your caretaker to park occasionally in your driveway. Timers are good for keeping lights on, but their schedule should be varied regularly. Set up an answering machine. Change the message occasionally and check the messages often. Make sure all doors and windows are locked and secure.
