I want them to know up front what I do, what I make, and why I have to have a "lower than retail" price.  

When I see deals that do pencil for an investor, the LTV is 60% or less (I deal with mostly retail and industrial). 

With single family, you can sell to investors, tenants, or on the open retail market. 

A smaller building that used to be a small community bank that could easily be retail space/ cafe.I will qualify for conventional financing for this property, but with interest rates being what they are, I'm not sure that's the best option. 

Even the best retail agents still lack the operations and understanding of what makes a good deal, especially if they do not invest.  

Establish what type of commercial real estate interests you most—retail, office, industrial, or multifamily—and develop a plan around that.

I recently closed on a commercial condo unit (for retail), which is one unit in a building that also has 7 apartments. 

If this was me, I would leverage my equity into a commercial office/retail/industrial multi-unit or multi-family property.

For many of these hybrid and remote employees today, the main attraction to living in and around a major city like D.C. is the easy access to retail and entertainment areas, especially experience and community-focused retail areas.

we are still doing deals in commercial but mostly in the retail/med space.
