Vacation Property Online helps Canadians and Americans make better decisions about buying, owning and selling recreational property. Here is how we create and maintain our content.
Who Writes for Us
Our articles and calculators are written by Peter Davis, who has a background in business, finance and accounting. Over ten years, Peter and his wife bought, ran as short-term rentals, and sold multiple properties in Whistler, BC. Peter Davis is a pen name. He publishes under it for privacy while sharing practical, well-researched information to help readers make informed vacation property decisions.
How We Research
- Market figures come from published sources such as brokerage market reports, government statistics and lender rate sheets. We link to the sources we use.
- Rules and regulations (for example, BC’s short-term rental rules) are checked against official government pages.
- Calculator assumptions are listed on each calculator page, with the source and date for every default value.
Keeping Content Current
Our articles and calculators show the date they were last updated. We review calculators and financing pages periodically and update market and regulation pages when new data or rules are published.
Independence and Advertising
If we add affiliate links or featured partners, they will be clearly labelled. Partners never pay to change our analysis, rankings or calculator results.
Not Personal Advice
Our content is general information, not financial, legal or tax advice. Speak to a licensed professional about your situation.
