When I finally bought a sports car (with cash, of course) after my portfolio set me 'free' I had the bumper sticker (No Payments) custom made and use it in my profile pic. 

Next time someone complains about socialism look up Fannie and Freddie’s role in the economy4) favorable (and often unfair) zoning standards and exemptions from certain zoning and rental requirements5) let’s not forget your primary can be converted to an income property or can even generate rental income while being used as your primary if u are so inclined.Kiyosaki did a wonderful job of shocking people into stepping out of the “get a good job and buy a big house is the way to succeed” and he opened peoples eyes to the power of investment real estate but taking that bumper sticker statement as gospel does him and everyone a disservice

The seller also loved that we were coming to a tight knit community where people lye roots, and as fellow REIs weren't in fear of CA sticker prices.

@Colin Wood - firstly, let me also extend my welcome to the real estate investment community in the Puget Sound region.Secondly, I would prepare yourself for some sticker shock when looking at Seattle multifamily properties.

Further to @Shawn Clark's point, if you don't have easy access, one way to tell if a property has been winterized is to look at the MLS listing photos.If there are small signs or tags that are taped on sinks, toilets, dishwashers, etc, those normally are signs stating the the water is off and that the property has been winterized.Around here, they're usually neon green or orange stickers with a few that are just white slips of paper. 

Typically a cash buyer expects a discount on the sticker price.

Drive anywhere up north and you're bound to see poorly designed yard signs all over and junk Honda accords that have big stickers that say they buy houses.

The city provide stickers to designate the type of recycling garbage.
