Some of them sell at retail price or above, invest in suspect areas, and cheap on the rehab.  

I've been an REO buyers agent for 12 years but been awhile since I made an offer for a retail buyer: normally it's cash, close in 10 days.

He worked as a mortgage broker for years, so he understand that aspect.What we trying to accomplish is for him to be able to become an acquisition manager, learn the different methods; cash purchase, owner financing, subject 2, lease options, JVs/retail price, etc. 

yes, you heard right, it's something that requires knowledge and retail specialty

I own an office/retail/etc. commercial building that I would love to get rid of.  

Think of a property (REO or owner sold) which needs work to qualify for a mortgage and the seller does not want to invest any more $$ in the property.Most retail buyers don't have $25-75k liquid cash to make the repairs and even if they did, they would not find a conventional loan to purchase the property, so they would need cash or a 203k loan for the purchase and rehab.

I sell single homes and multi-home developments.My background is in the residential construction industry and retail building materials sales.

Cap rates vary by area, asset class, and deal size.So you need to be specific (office,retail,industrial,hotel,self storage,etc.)

I have been working with investors as well as retail in Oakland County Michigan for over 30 years.Looking forward to a long relationship here with the Bigger Pockets family.

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.
