Preferably looking for a duplex or a single family home.  

I prefer young and hungry over worn and jaded. 

My preference is to own a property, and to rent it out eventually, house hack, etc.

Usually this comes down to personal goals and preferences.

Ski in/ski out I think would be preferred during ski season which is going to be your busy season

This would allow us to have a clear bird-eye view of the various data in order to analyze and take decisions Second Point:I would prefer to manage it internally for confidentiality purposes.

I would prefer to pay the capital gains today as based on how we spend money as a country, that capital gains rate most likely is going to be heading up in the future not down.

They need stability, so although house hacking isn't out of the question, I prefer to not do that.

Everyone prefers that, even when going through the Jungle. 

The calculator finds that the annualized interest rate, or if you prefer return on investment, is 9.43%I hope this clarifies.
