My wife and I planned to do real estate at some point, but she’s too overloaded having opened two birth centers.

I am looking to buy a retail shopping center dallas,tx. 

And this is near city center in Houston TX with plenty of land and appreciation.I try not to be a strict rule of thumb buyer but bottom line, unless it's an A or NNN deal, a property will almost never cash flow if it isn't a 1% deal. 

I have seen retail centers for instance where if it is turned sideways or building is situated behind another retail center then harder to rent and rents drop to fill it with lease up.How good is the cross traffic from other sites to this tenant box space?

Hello to this great community, I'm glad I finally found a community around real estate.Well to introduce you, my name is Stelios 32 yo from Heraklion, Greece(Crete Island), married with 1 kid.As for Real Estate, right now I'm working on buying 2 studio apartments in my area(Heraklion).According to my newbie research in the area, the market in my town must be right now in phase 1 but I'm not 100% sure, to be honest.Bureaucracy alone is one hell of work in my country and I already work 3 months on fixing papers, waiting for tax systems to unlock so we can get some tax papers needed and much more things...Well to consider numbers, the 2 apartments are in the center of my town and they are both sold at the deep discount of 23600€ right now if you ask me this is a very rare price.

I’m a mailman and I was delivering to a senior citizen center.

Sounds like a profit center...

We spend anywhere from 15-20k in data per month alone, and distribute to our call center and sms platform. 

More people in the market center, the better. 

Moreover, most of the people living in these areas drive 30 minutes per day to downtown Houston and Houston Medical Center.
