@Jacob Nunn - sure thing - couple additional adds: - like the idea of being smart on getting rolling - you can never pay retail or above pricing and be a super successful investor.  

There are many other properties on the market, but right now, the market is very strong from what I have been seeing and the properties on the market right now are listed at retail value and still need work. 

There are many investors (not retail buyers) that will bid up a house just to get the house to keep their crews busy and are ok with a very small profit margin. 

8 units plus a commercial/retail space.  

I have worked on the wholesale banking and retail lending sides of the business.

We mainly focus on turnkey, but we do also handle a good amount of retail sales, meaning we basically flip.

@Sharon Anschultz are you looking for investors buying in your area or retail buyers?

You can identify the two highest retail price ranges, in greatest demand, per zip code where you can list the rehabbed property.You can use the Realtor to help you find deals and also use Wholesalers.

Almost all of my retail clients are using conventional loans.

I run a retail cigar shop in near by Calabasas and have been able to purchase 2 rental properties since 2010.
