Thanks for all the serious responses!

I do get up on weekdays myself and have pulled the elder kids for one special ski day each with us on a weekday this season, and the skiing proper is much better with fewer people, sure. Quote:

I don't anticipate appreciation making me a ton of money, per se, but I expect it to be on par with other low-risk investment vehicles overall, plus get me great utility personally.

what's your break-even point if your alternative was to rent a comparable place?

I did the math a while back, and with any reasonable rate of appreciation break even is basically right at the outset (renting costs vs. upkeep/interest/property taxes/insurance). Even accounting for furnishing the place, etc., certainly should be before the end of the first whole season in it.

Going to see this place on Friday:

Point taken, but I'm ready to move quicker at $630k than at $750k for sure in terms of mobilizing down payment money. I've got $37k set aside in a 5% stock Betterment goal and will drag out $50k from my 403(b). That brings us right at the $548k conforming limit (albeit not at 80% LTV), but KeyBank will play nicely with that scenario and I would be able to get it paid down to a conventional loan for refinancing fairly soon. |

Real estate is a tricky thing where you need to balance patience with action once the right place is available. I have been waiting for the housing market to take a down turn so I can upgrade my house (and keep my current house as a rental). Good luck and hopefully this is what you are looking for. Buying earlier also gives you time to close on the deal and get settled in before the summer biking season. |

Looks like a pretty nice place all things considered. I think a pro and con is that the 2nd and 3rd bedroom is on first floor. Maybe you could find a set of L bunks? Either way bring a tape measure.

upper floor: kitchen, common room, two separate master suites middle floor: entry, additional suite bottom floor: bunk room suite, hot tub access via bunk room because that makes the least sense at all possible but is easier to build and plumb Oh, that's a really simple fix! A triple bunk would indeed solve that handily with the same footprint. |

Measure the ceiling height - you might be able to do some cool stuff with a loft type setup for 2 beds and a desk/couch under one? I like the trundle idea too, could be a bunk with a trundle that pulls out for visitors. Or even a bunk with a double bottom single top and they just pair up when there are guests. |

I have fallen asleep on the trundle in my daughter’s room numerous times. It will be fine for kids.
