I think this'll be fun.

It is a ski resort and we get a fair amount of snow every year and it lasts all winter long.  

I Started reading books on real estate investing actually just got fun and it has been growing into something I'm becoming passionate about, I discovered this website about a week ago and it's provided me with tons of knowledge.

Early winter inventory is low and those out looking are serious buyers, so this is a great time to list.  

Gas and Electric bills from the winter months.

Californians in the summer and 'snowbirds' in the winter.  

Although a lot of fun, my job is too erratic with long hours to do that, so I came across Brandon Turner's book on Rental Property Investing and felt it gave me options to be more "hands off" in terms of being an investor with good property managers, etc.I'm saving money and hope in the next year to buy my first property as I learn more, read more, and hopefully see the seattle market slow down a bit.I would love to meet like-minded people in the area.  

It is a small, well taken care of beach cabin, two blocks from the beach, in a great summer vacation area... winter not so much. 

Problem is the upstairs gets super hot while the downstairs stays colder in the winter.  

I got a Canon SL1, so not exactly top of the line, but I've done some fun stuff with it so far.
