If you are interested, shoot me a PM and I will add you to the email list so you get time and location updates.We have a good mix of interested investors, experienced investors, realtors, contractors, and the occasional wholesaler.  

Lots are zoned multifamily resort, mixed use and can be fairly high density (I think up to 60 units an acre).

Glad to have another Southern Californian in the mix!

I might like to use a screening company, but haven't yet due to mixed reviews here on BP.

The one I'm thinking of now is a mixed used, already rented out commercial storefront until 2017 for $1150 with a 2bed and 1bath apartment in the back that either I could occupy or could rent for $650/a month.

Mix between retirement age group and younger 20's-early 40's.

The next one is posted here and it's free (except for your time and drinks if you so choose)

I get mixed opinions from family and friends.

@Alice K.It really depends on what you are looking for - cash flow or appreciation, or a mix of the two.

I am currently in discussion with a seller of a mixed-use property, looking for some advice on funding this purchase as it is my understanding I can not take a conventional mortgage on it.
