Remember a while back a wrote a post regarding partnerships and investing styles; well I thought I am a very good communicator and have been quite forthright with my partner on such things as my vision on the properties, rent portion, etc all which my partner indicated he had no ideas and everything I propose sound great.Shortly, thereafter he went rogue!  

It was because neither had home computers or internet but preferred email style communication.  

I'm looking for something that evokes that 50s 60s feel, but modern.. not that typical flower style if possible. 

I would also guess that at some point you will see a California style property/rental market crash.

@Gil Estupinan  In-N-Out never goes out of style!  

The kind of property your looking for       (Min. bedrooms , style you would like, commercial or residential, one owned by a clown, etc)2.

Compare this to places like SF or NYC where few places to expand to and old style rental regulations constrains housing supply to a certain number of units a year so you either buy the higher prices or move. 

Townhouse style near downtown might do better, but price point is much higher.

@Mike Pauze if you are looking for a renovation style loan, search here for Alex Bekeza...he works with investors and is active on BPIt's important to define the loan product up front...some conventional lenders may not have the product you are after.

Get it styled woodsy to fit your cabin resort dream and make this the first step to making your dream a reality.2.)
