or so years... when I was well past 10 FNMA mortgages... that commercial lenders with their "5-year fixed rates" are eager to lend to people like us who are on the 'right side' of this massive RE wealth transfer, and that most likely US Bank (retail side) will sell this loan -- so a "No" to the last bullet will just mean you may get denied in underwriting (not from the loan broker/officer) if they detect a problem, meaning no loan for your deal.

You need to factor in commissions 6% (if retail), transactional funding and two sets of closing costs (A to B plus B to C) another 5%.

Diverse interests at the moment:)Investment funds, analysis, commercial retail development.Opposite side would be residential brokerage.

In many areas right now, once they hit the MLS, it will be tough to get the price you need as an investor as you now must compete with end user buyers who are williing to pay retail.

The target asset will be multi-tenant retail, office, or multi-family property in areas ranging from small suburbs to major metropolitans.

Anything above $100 per door in true cash flow is great and you have it on this deal.As Mike pointed out, paying retail or 90% of market value will usually not provide you with positive cash flow, especially the $100 min. per door so if you do obtain cash flow figures, you are most likely walking into a deal with equity at purchase.The real key here is what your end goal is on the investment - cash flow or equity/appreciation.If you are intending to live off the cash flow, then equity and potential appreciation are irrelevant.

If you're going for a retail sale, and I think you are, you need to be the best deal on the block to generate a sale.

Not sure if I will be full time investor and stop retailing, but I am kind of leaning that way.There is a LOT of info here, just trying to digest it and formulate a plan.Once I think I have an outline I will share to get opinions, etc.

They're trying to sell it at retail.

Retailing?
