Probably still not cheap enough for most investors to pull the trigger and probably too "run down" or difficult to finance for retail buyers.

My specialty is buying distressed property at a low value and then reselling either wholesale or retail.

On the commercial retail side when a client is selling a multi million property at a 6 tor 7 cap rate you better believe they have impeccable records.  

I read another post from a BP member from 2 years ago and he described the whole Harris county auction process and he said the same thing that it was really a mad house, everyone crammed in real tight, auctioneers not speaking loud enough and maybe didnt know what they were doing, people (maybe newbies) bidding up the price to or above retail....just madness.But it is something I'd like to see and more important meet some of the investors, people who are actually buying properties and doing it.I might hook up with the group you were talking about, my only concern is them taking away time from seeing the action and meeting the players, but it might be wise for a first timer to go with someone who can show me the ropes once inside .Bad thing for them is, thanks to BP there really isnt any way i could see myself coughing up any money for information that i can get here for free.

I just sold a $265k retail in Haines City.

I am a writer, a photographer, and now about to become a real estate investor.I have spent most of my adult life in retail management with a few years in programming, website design, and freelancing.

I am currently a commercial Superintentdent building mostly large box retail from 100,000 - 1,000,000 SF projects nationwideI have extensive construction experience but little rental experience.

Last year was really busy but this year has been really quiet with a drop off in tenants looking for office/retail space.

I am looking for SFR properties to flip to retail buyers, as well as have a wholesaling campaign to supplement my income.
