I had some of the home depot traffic master ultra click lock installed in a retail store for two years then took it up and re-installed it in a rental.

The same goes for access, parking available, on-site and off-site amenities, exterior looks plus landscaping, nearby schools, floor plan design, area retail, and more.You may have heard that you need experience before purchasing but that is a myth. 

We paid retail on every purchase until the duplex that was purchased I think in 2011.  

That said, retail buyers do rely on it to a certain extent. 

If there is an operation always available, they are either big enough to charge retail, or small and not busy (which may say something about their ability or reputation).As Ned stated, local experienced investor colleagues will often have experience with the best vendors of each type to work with.

The back yard direcly abuts a new development that will have 700 luxury apartment units, 4 office buildings, and a tiny bit of retail.

There’s a much larger percentage of retail sales, what’s the reason for selecting to focus on the smaller piece of the pie?

Instead it makes more sense to flip to silly retail buyers.

If its in Northern Omaha, that would be more retail pricing, especially if there is no off street parking. 

@Mike Easton the key is the mindset during conversation typical realtor conversation -- market price blah blah ... i can list wholeselling conversation -- i saw your house and can pay you $XXK with $XK earnest moneyGiven you are a realtor , you really need to polarize (two extreme) your customers to see if they are retail seller (have time and not in need of capital immediately) vs someone really needs to get out with cash on hand yesterday.
