Hello,I am looking at acquiring a commercial property (strip mall) from a family friend and trying to come up with some attractive ways to make an offer that.

Low risk and potential to make a sizeable return without using credit or very much cash makes this a very attractive way to invest in real estate .

I'm want to send a mailer to my area to attract listings for 2019. 

Would I attract a buyer by being at a higher price?"

Yours would likely attract large families while the neighbors would be small families, singles, or couples with no kids.It doesn't sound attractive to me but everything is a good investment if the price is right!

Agreed, And when I ran it over a 3 year projection and figured worse case scenario that I turned over a Tennant each year it made the deal a lot less attractive. 

Land, and by some extension the improvements built upon it, are the only kind of property in this world that is really real.Any thoughts, ladies and gentlemen?

So it is indeed more complex that I had thought.That being said, my original idea of establishing a general partnership as a estate planning method is not that attractive anymore.

Because it will be difficult to attract accredited investors without a track record.

Your interest rate is very attractive and you are getting multiple benefits from owning the property (income, tax break, mortgage pay down, appreciation, and leverage).Personally, I would probably find away to hold on to the property unless you had a more attractive investment opportunity.
