You're also missing the closing bracket ]
so you want it to parse as:
$('.property_container[id="property_1530"]').find('.login_container');
Which can actually also be written as:
$('.property_container#property_1530').find('.login_container');
But we'll stick with your format and insert the number dynamically. Note
the nesting of single and double quotes.
The selector is a string. It contains lots of stuff including double quotes:
'.property_container[id="property_1530"]'
To dynamically build a string by concatenation we use the + operator:
'.property_container[id="property_' + propertyID + '"]'
Note that you're chopping up the string into two string and a variable
and reassembling it.
That gives us our final result:
$('.property_container[id="property_' + propertyID +
'"]').find('.login_container');
(Note carefully the single and double quotes.)
Good Luck!
Legally, you should have unique IDs on a page so it'd simply be:
$('#property_' + propertyID).find('.login_container');
