Hello all, I am a retail center investor based in Dallas, TX, looking to connect with other individuals who are passionate about this asset class. Please let me know what areas you invest in. Looking to learn and share my experiences as well!

If anyone had any banking relationships they are willing to share that would be appreciated.

Hi Ronald, thanks for connecting. We look for smaller strip centers up to 9 tenants. The ones we currently own don't have major anchors. We are currently looking in the Northern Dallas area suburbs. Loan size would be in the $5 million range.

Do mainly work on deals in the Dallas area yourself?

 Thats a great buy box. Big enough to be worth the squeeze, but smaller than most institutional + no anchor.

I am a CRE lawyer for those types of deals, we help with PSA, NNN leasing, etc.

 My partners consistently help commercial investors with their transactions. We love commercial transactions as the funds are usually safer than with single family investors. Reach out if you ever need help.
