I was around 16 when I first calculated my net worth.I shoveled snow (I actually looked forward to a big storm and was up at the crack of dawn with a shovel on my shoulder and wasn't back home until dark), cut grass, raked leaves, etc.). 

Because we are shouldering the risk, we require a substantial down payment and interest rate from our end buyer.

I certainly don't need to be there watching over their shoulders but occasionally it's a good thing.

So I guess that's one benefit, that the shoulder season is a little shorter there as most ski areas are dead Mid-April through May.Like others have said though, the numbers have to work and those don't look great. 

You have a huge chip on your shoulder.

Sure there  are vibrant  communities but you have to look over your shoulder when you walk down the street.  

@Steve Dove  interesting POV: using the peak months to cover costs and shoulder months for profit.

No more double checking and looking over my shoulder.

:) Hi Lucas,  I appreciated you share the reason why I got a lot of cold shoulders right away. :) It all make sense.

So, similar to Marcus, one of the happiest days of my life was when I hired out my bookkeeping - total weight lifted off my shoulders!
