Swapping Your Second Home

You've bought a vacation home? Congratulations. Still have a yen to travel? A new service, Swapandstay .com, offers a possible solution. According to the Dallas Morning News, members pay about $90 per year to list their property on the Web site for other second-home owners to see and possibly swap for. Properties may be anywhere in the world. Unlike some house swaps, the weeks don't have to be simultaneous. Although only sole owners of a property can participate (no timeshares allowed), the second homes may be houses, condos, cabins, villas, boats or RVs.
