The Elegant Gateway Grand Community on 48th Street has Four Fantastic Units for Sale

Ugh. Winter. With high temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit this weekend, many of us in central Maryland are longing for summer. And beach weather.

For those of us in the Fort Meade and Annapolis areas, “beach” typically means Ocean City, Maryland. If you’re stuck here in the freezing winter doldrums, it’s a great time to think about buying a second home – a vacation or investment property at the beach.

You, your family and friends no doubt would revel in the convenience and excitement of having your very own beach home -- just two-and-a-half hours away. And for investors, there are tremendous financial benefits to owning rental property in such a popular vacation destination.
