In a solid market, with a high quality SFR, you can either flip as-is to another investor, or at the other end, upgrade to flip status and retail to an end buyer.At the end of the day, all investors have a short term and long term approach to their model.  

Clermont (just West of Orlando) is building a $2 billion athletic health and wellness community  (Olympus) with over 4,000 homes and retail to match.

I also worked as a buyer's agent specializing in 1031 exchanges with retail NNN properties.

We belive a lot of these large retail banks and not at their highest & best use.

Often times they're completely closed to retail investors unless someone is okay with $2M check sizes per a deal.Are there any broker-dealer groups that you like and have you gone this path before as a LP?

Hi Bekzod,If you're new to the U.S. market, I recommend beginning with a more passive investment, such as retail triple net-leased properties.

I've done several wholesale and retail deals, and I've found the best deals driving for dollars. 

I have played the 0% balance transfer game for some larger inventory purchases in my retail biz and good old 0% balance promos at Home Depot (personal) and Sears have financed quite a few apartment renos too.With a long and stellar credit history It doesn't seem to impact my FICO4 & 8 too much but it will *crush* the vantage 3 score which penalizes HEAVILY those who actually USE their credit and I'm talking still less than 30% of available.

As a long-time broker for Constructive, I am sorry to hear you had a bad retail experience.

The lease up time on retail/office is at least a year.
