[quote=Anonymous]We have an opportunity to buy a cabin off market before it goes on the MLS. It's across the street from my parent's lake house that we've had since I was a baby so the selling neighbors would love to see us buy it.

HHI $270k we are 31 and 33yo so planning on significant growth here
Bought primary home for $325k in 2015, current value $410k

Expenses:
PITI on primary home $2500
Childcare $1850/mo, dropping to $840/mo in June, both kids will be in public school by 2025
Groceries $700/mo
Utilities $220/mo
Phones and internet: $200
Car payment $300/mo done in May

Savings:
$50k emergency fund
Retirement on track- max out DH's 401k, both our Roth IRAs, and an additional investment account. Haven't done our taxes yet so don't have exact number on hand.
Kids have $3k and $5k in their 529s (toddlers)

No debt other than our remaining mortgage.
Planning on our current home being our forever home.

The house is being offered to us at $280k, comps are $265-290k so fair market rate.
20% down would give us a PITI of $1800 on this house
