Investment Info:Other buy & hold investment in Pacific Grove.Completed a 1031 exchange into a retail/office building, then converted the second floor into a short-term rental (STR) and mid-term residential unit.

Understand what retails properties sell, average prices per sq/ft, types of properties investors are looking for, what rents are, what areas sell the best for investors, what to look for to get accurate rehab estimates, more properties you visit and see in-person the better, and most importantly, dont be lazy! 

As interest rates have gone up, it is much harder to buy "retail" and get cash flow.

What you are proposing is theoretically possible but depends on (1) how good of a deal it is (2) how much assignment fee spread there is, and (3) if the buyer the realtor is bringing is paying retail or also looking for a wholesale price.

@Rick Baggenstoss Yes, i have seem some quality property bid up almost to retail. and it is always the same 5-6 bidders that you see dominating the winning bid.
