[quote=sdduuuude]Sounds to me like a bunch of you Piggs should consider a shared-ownership situation.
An extra home is an expensive luxury and I doubt many would use it more than once a month. This is why you can rent vacation homes. Probably ends up being cheaper in the long run, though you don’t get to play architect.
Find 4 people to each take a weekend every month, cut your building costs 75% by sharing the burden, and allow yourself this luxury much sooner.
Just a thought.[/quote]
When I lived in Bellingham I had a friend who’s parents did this… 4 family went in on a cabin close to Mt. Baker ski area. My friend’s parents lived in Bellvue (Seattle area – 90 minutes south) so they used it less than they’d planned… which meant my friend was able to use it pretty much all of their weekends… and many of the remaining 3/4’s of the weeks. (Any owner could use it if the scheduled owner wasn’t.)
That was *my* dream situation… having a friend who had good access to a cabin – that I got to use for free by tagging along.
