I have a broker licensed in TX with my company that will be able to beat both those retail lenders that you mentioned.

MHP, Warehouses, Offices, Retail, 3N, Storage, is rarely even mentioned.  

I do on the retail and development side,  Sad thing is MOST realtors and plenty on the lending side are not educated in the space. 

Also keep in mind the demographic and needs of the renter you're targeting in the area you buy...there's a big difference in getting a house rental ready vs retail ready.

This is with my contractor contacts who I refer out a lot and work below what retail pays. 

They’d hire someone to clean and paint, and put the house back on the market at a slightly below retail price.  

San Diego is expensive to Purchase, maintenance and cap ex is expensive, property tax at purchase is expensive in terms of dollars (average SFH prop tax at purchase is ~$1k/month in San Diego), new retail (MLS) purchases are negative cash flow when allocating properly for expenses, it is tenant friendly in terms of regulations but this is largely due to the big advantages LL have due to crazy low vacancy rates.  

As she personally knows the syndicator she may be able to garner far more info in conversations with them about this and other investments, which can give her an informational asymmetrical advantage over 99% of retail investors as well.  

Retail on these condos is around $125k ea. 

Hi All,I am looking to buy a retail commercial property and looking for options for loan.
