The remote chances of a theft are inconsequential as if someone wants in a home bad enough, they are kicking in the back door.  

Many banks just hire a broker and sell their foreclosures off on the retail market like any other seller. 

You should not pay full retail and be removing contingencies.  

I had a retail deal and bank had an appraisal of $10,420,000, looking at P&L from 6 months earlier on the subject the NOI was $300k, looking at rent roll of a month in August the income was $105k with 35% vacancy, asked the asset manager how did the come up with $10,420,000 and he said based on that month rent whats renting in the market not considering this is a stressed property and wanting around 80% off that amount which did not even make sense what so ever.

Most typically you'd hear this term in commercial leasing where the tenant reconfigures an office space or builds out a retail store/restaurant space.

Foundations are endemic and you need to be very well-informed as to the neighborhoods. for out of state I concur with 39211  and some of 39206  the other zips are south jackson which can be very block to block and in my mind more appropriate for a local in the know investor like Susan..  39211 is a very nice mixture of owner occ and rentals where a fixed up home will retail and retail for a nice profit many times.. 

I'm about to embark on my first commercial real estate development project.I plan to buy a ~1acre property in Georgia to construct a 20,000sqft building with the following breakdown:8,000sqft retail space7,000sqft warehouse space5,000sqft office spaceI'll be using some of the office space and warehouse space for myself.

Bank properties are effectively office space in a retail corridor (typically).

Are the investments you offer registered with the SEC or Virginia Division of Securities and Retail Franchising?

I like smaller retail deals with faster turn arounds to realize the upside.
