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.

I enjoy dealing with businesses specifically retail properties.My transactions make me more than enough cash flow yearly so I do value add retail and new development for large equity growth gains on the back end.If someone makes 50k,70k etc. per year then buying a SFR can make sense over time.

Most agents are thinking retail price for primary residence when setting a sale price.
