I noticed you are in Austin Tx (I'm in the Ft Worth market as a Landlord, rehabber primarily). 

After 99 Cents Only filed for bankruptcy in April 2024, 28 stores in Phoenix closed, leaving 632,900 square feet of prime retail space available.

However I would ensure zoning aligns with the retail space in the area.

Same guy handled a triplex rehab (the one with the theft), and that's where he took money that he simply pocketed or used in some sort of Ponzo scheme to pay off other debts (I have no way to know, but the money did not go to contractors or to continue work at the site).

Next the investor: Investors will not pay retail for these assets because there are no barriers of entry and they can complete the same process you completed given the abundance of distressed assets available in these markets.

The company’s claim to have relaunch failed big name retailers is complete fiction.b.

Here are some other deals that other retailers are offering as a option to Prime Deals.

Other industries are getting billions and the government has not even implemented polices that amount to theft of their property. 

I am barely looking at them because with my underwriting (that some would consider conservative), even properties below retail bleed cash.  

Yes, you will likely pay close to or at retail value if you are buying a quality property that has been properly renovated.
