.- One SFR had a tenant just move out, another is going through an eviction, so with half of the portfolio vacant, it's decision time.I'm trying to decide whether to sell them as a portfolio (at least the 3 Georgia ones as a portfolio, Iowa would probably have to be sold separately), or get the other 2 empty, fix them up and sell them all to retail homebuyers. 

And for sure there is a BIG difference in a commercial broker who specializes in investment properties and the average agent that sells homes for retail purposes..

It depends on the condition, but if it passes a 4-point inspection, I would definitely go for a novation first because they need help with bills, so you could probably support them with that while getting a retail buyer.

They are cheap, and will get cheaper in coming recession, as tourism to Vegas will decline, and they have superior growth and great management, that know what they are actually doingADC -(Agree Realty), they do what I do privately, but on a bigger scale, run by Joey Agree , very smart, they have excellent growth, multi-tenant, triple net retail, and grocery anchored Retail, they will benefit from massive secular tailwinds, as there has been under construction in retail for years, due to fear of E-commerce, higher construction costs/insurance costs, post GFC under financing-construction, etc, so existing inventory is commanding higher rents, we are bumping new leases by 7-11%, they will get this endogenous earnings growth for yearsthese should perform well over next 10 years, never buy anything in Real Estate for less than 10 years, to allow to go through cycles, and if you can buy in 401k/IRA so dividends can be re-invested tax freegood luck, you have to monitor your E-REITS like you would any other stock, closely, as they move with sentiment not just on NAV like private Real estate, so you can't just dose em w 200mg of propofol and walk away, not that you'd ever do that :)good luck

For example:  Will these be solely commercial (retail, office, etc) or will you be looking at residential multi-family as well? 

If I’m selling a property to a retail buyer then of course I have the same requirements, even down to who the lender is. 

I have a portfolio of just SFH's.The good thing about a SFH is that you have a larger pool of end buyers(retail buyer).

Is this a Single Family Rental or an actual commercial real estate property (office, retail etc.)? 

Currently, the store space is zoned for retail and the variance would allow it to host events there such as birthdays, office parties, wakes, etc.

Lori and I chatted some more and she has 30 plus years of doing retail owner occ RE sales and managed a large C 21 office at one time.
