Off Market Commercial Properties

[Aryelle Collins]

I usually wholesale single and multi family distressed but never a commercial property. Is there much of a difference? Are they more difficult to find? I had an investor come to me and tell me that he sold his commercial office building for $3 million and wants to do a 1031 exchange to avoid paying the taxes. He asked if I could find him an off market strip mall or a commercial building with several storefronts for $3 million in a good neighborhood in Tampa or St. Petersburg, FL.
