@Jay Hinrichs - we did get about 8" at our place - but we've got friends in the mountains who are still trying to dig out!

But they leave out the risks they took and times things didn't work out well.Most people started with something they lived in just so they can lower their living expenses and save more money, rent out the rooms or the other unit so your paying allot less in rent and mortgage.Allot of people did the toilet replacements and maintenance themselves in the beginning because they didn't have the money to pay someone else.So find a decent deal and buy it, just get started.It's easy to see people who are at the mountain top or clearly letting their snowball roll down that hill and miss the decade(s) of wading through the swap to get there.All you can do is learn as much as you can from them and just try to roll your snowball a little further up the hill.

Schwarzman who said that when making acquisitions that have long term appreciation (should be all deals), he would often leave money on the table and give the seller a higher price than he could otherwise have gotten.

The seller wants to sell it for $50k but has requested to put it down on paper for $5k, so he can pay less tax; the remaining $45k would just be given under the table. 

i also own three 4 plex buildings in mountain home each purchase price of 269k and taxes are about 4600/yr.
