I was hoping for a place there that I can market to certain activities groups (Climbing, Skiing, Hiking), while also having a place for my family to be able to use when visiting for various events. 

This is the beauty of real estate—especially in resort areas or markets with above-average appreciation.

Finally it is not helpful for a debate or discussion when participants don’t bring facts or their personal experiences but rather resort to specific political talking points. 

I think the vast majority of us who don't ski or snowmobile stay as far away from NH as possible though in Winter!

Anyway, thanks for the note  I hear you on reducing stress, not sure of your age, but I won't 'go there' on the stress and quality of life side of things....I'm more patient than I used to be for sure.As far as what could be next - sounds incredibly non sensical and irresponsible - yet, move it all including yourself to a Colorado ski town.

Brandon writes about this in his book and a lot of investors preach it, but cash-for-keys is a terrible practice that should only be used as a last resort.

Cross country skiing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing in the winter are popular.

Ponying up $500 that they'll get back in 14 days may seem more attractive -- but, I'd still consider this one a toss up.However, in my "sleeps 14" ski condo INSURANCE is definitely the way to go. 

Amenities: Is your property near popular attractions like lakes, hiking trails, ski resorts, or pools?

We bought a home in a ski resort town.
