For example, millennial's might prefer a mixed-use development in a city whose IT/Finance sector is emerging vs a tenant profile of baby boomers in a retirement sunbelt area. 

That high end is a very closely guarded sector.  

I've looked at some smaller multis around HWY 90 but the vacancy due to a slower Oil Sector concerned me, especially with C class assets.

I'm considering travelling to America and looking for investors / business partner.Looking for partners / investors who may wish to develop in Scotland for the holiday home sector as well as flipping in the states and Scotland Uk.

The one thing I would add is that while you are researching the asset class, be certain that you get the proper education and align yourself with individuals that are SUCCESSFUL in the Self Storage Business, and discard the advice from others who do not have experience in this incredible sector of Commercial Real Estate. 

I get the sense that any sort of bubble here would originate from a drastic increase in the foreclosure rate for investment property loans given all the capital that's flowing into this sector, especially as more articles like this one will only further push house flipping into the mainstream with people (even more so than it is already).Like @Chris C. said, "The Big Short" was a way for us to understand that money was being loaned to people who shouldn't have qualified by banks who were being greedy.

So I moved there wanting to get a decent paying job.I discovered the mega-job growth was in the retail sector paying a measley $8 dollars an hour.

I grew up in Orange County so sticking to the west coast so far.Currently work in the tech sector out here (surprise surprise huh), but looking to learn and (hopefully) invest in RE in a passive/PT manner.I don't have a ton of background in RE.  

It'll depend on what the market can support, how many keys(units), 2 star-5 star hotel and what specific brand fits into the marketplace, what is the demand in regards to longer term stays or shorter term stays, high business or high leisure, etc.

P.S. 78 percent of millennials want the capability to offer short-term rentals, which allows them flexibility and extra income while away for their job or leisure.
