I think licenses required for having food/beverages/alcohol served on the premise, even if not directly supplied by you, will also need to be considered.If you proceed, you might also consider allowing other events as well, such as corporate retreats/functions.

It could be a wonderful horse property, or a retreat center... the grounds are absolutely stunning.

Patton once said that he never retreated because he didn't want to pay for the same ground twice.

Once you find a good property to invest in, you need to finance the impending transaction then.Financing a real estate deal tends to send new investors into a fit of anxiety or is even enough to compel them to pack up their dreams and retreat to their nine-to-five job.

One thing I see now, and still coming, is the emergence of private lending and mortgages as a major force.A huge vacuum has been suddenly left by the banks retreating, and capital will find return.

I like simple and clean lines, this is NOT.Then there are some yoga meditation rooms (which have to be totally demolished due to city violations), but in them are several of these ductless mini split AC units. 

@Vincent Crane  my take on this is there will always be communities or regions that lose a major employer or some other demographic change.. so those markets can see a retreat and or crash I guess.I personally think if your waiting on the side lines for another GFC to happen were some markets compressed 70 to 80% I don't see that happening on a large scale like the GFC.and here are my reasons:1. too many properties have been bought with cash.. those folks just ride it out2. millions of homes now have 2 to 4% interest rates payments far less than rent those folks ride it out... 3.

The other thing to look at in the HV are people from NYC who want a "country" retreat in the HV.  

As such, I tend to go to real-estate to retreat away from that.
