so with all that.. standing on the river bank looking at paw prints as big as pie plats.. was a little nerve racking and with your little can of bear spray.. :)  .  

Sometimes at night, the ferries quit running before you're ready to leave the party. ;-)

@Justin Brown I'll be there - let's maybe communicate on where we are via here on Day 2 - 10x networking party :) Sugar might be a nice spot, I was going to try to host something on Saturday but there's a networking event 6:30-8:30 on the field figured we could huddle up there as well.

While a contract is not enforceable if you are not 18, that doesn't mean two parties that want to do a deal can't move forward. 

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

If peace of mind is your #1 goal I would suggest working with one of the bigger longer standing companies.

However, in any deal you must still bring some value to the table (capital, experience, ability, resources, etc) otherwise the remaining parties have no motivation for your involvement.As a new investor with no demonstrable track record capital is your easiest ticket to the table.  

There would be a $800 permit fee and they would raise the property tax 2.5 times for B&B and raise the tax 4 times for stand alone units. 

As you continue to shop around, you'll start to recognize things that stand out in a property. 

Both parties might be interested to make a deal by tomorrow.
