I am devising ways to re-purpose retail, warehouse, industrial,etc properties as the wave of retirees grows.  

With the improvements increasing the value of the property, I'm pretty sure I could sell i today for $140-145k, and make a few more bucks.... but as the comments say, the property values keep going up in Denton, so I'll continue riding that wave for now. 

As of right now,  the City of Portland has not adapted to the new wave of AirBnb short term rentals. 

I like wave as a free alternative

Of the 23,000 single-family homes in the 89031 ZIP code, more than 7,500 have had at least one foreclosure since 2006, according to Attom Data Solutions.The wave of foreclosures over the past decade changed the face of the community.Sandra L.

It is well known that the economy, stock market, and real estate markets go through waves with ups and downs. 

It's very much an up and coming area; a lot of young movers and shakers are coming in and setting up shop in its rustic charm, investing in the local businesses and culture, and it seems like the local government is riding that wave, investing in public areas and roads.

LOL, we are on the same Wave-Length, I am confident we will get a good response.

Not an odd request by any means, some sellers want to keep riding the wave of interest payments, and some want to get cashed out and move on.

I'm not saying it's impossible, we just had a similar situation with a client and we were able to get him under contract, your agent will definitely need to know how to maneuver this issue and find ways to make your offer more enticing, whether is by waving contingencies, offer a higher down payment, etc, not saying these are the best ideas, but just some ideas to ponder.
