one thing you should look at is what are the capital market drivers in the market. in our market housing, mixed use with restaurant and retail, higher density infill, affordable housing, etc. also look at fast track rezoning which is typically for affordable based projects. that's what I'd recommend.

I purchased them retail, but my strategy in the future would be to purchase wholesale, make more aggressive cosmetic rehabbing.

Take a look at the stock market today - retail investors flock towards bankrupt companies because it is a “good deal” that sounds like someone who doesn’t understand the premise of intelligent investing in the stock market - similar to those who may not understand how to leverage the 2 for 1 capabilities of a WLI policy.

For example, I’ve done 12 deals that would reflect his “retail buyer program”.

You will probably have a little more price flexibility if you're looking to hold and rent the home, as rehab costs will be considerably lower on a rental as opposed to a retail (flip).

A lot of opportunities to buy aged C-class homes at 8, 9, 10 caps.Small investor expense ratios are 40%.Large operator expense ratios are 37/38 %.Large platforms/institution expense ratios are 33/34%Big benefit of blanket insurance policies is to drive costs down.A lot of BFR is looking for a bridge product for 2 years to hope rates get back down in the 5% range.Cannot use HPA on BFR communities you plan on selling based on cash flow.5-18% rental premium being achieved based on new construction communities compared to new construction scatter sites.For real time comps go to biggest operators BFR, small multifamily.More confidence about the cost of construction having stabilized.Some products which will not be good for retail buyers will also not be good for rentals.

I used to flip houses (wholesale, retail, subto, etc. using Ron Legrand methods) so one day, after doing about 50 such flips it all came crashing down. 

It's like saying buying at retail and trying to sell at high, high retail is a good idea because the old way is no longer applicable.

I'm about to on H1B visa soon and looking to invest a commercial retail property.
