Very familiar with the area as much as most people want to believe gentrification = safer, it still has its high crime due to the extreme ends of diversity. 

The rental property calculator has been extremely helpful and I feel like I'm getting very familiar with analyzing deals while staying firm on my cash flow and CoC ROI parameters.

I would underwrite extremely conservatively for the retail space.

Eventually, they build their wholesaler rolodex large enough that it's extremely difficult for me to be the first to bring a deal, unless I am the wholesaler (something I intend to do more of in the future, for this very reason).

Message me anytime if you have any questions.I agree with @Marcello Di Gerlando that @Colin Smith is an excellent option for a realtor, I used his firm to purchase my house hack here and him and his team are extremely knowledgeable on investing and the local market. 

I guess extreme option is even to buy it in cash, pocket the $2,600 on monthly basis. 

House was extremely dated and had structural framing issues in which we negotiated the price down substantially.

Purchase price: $86,500 Cash invested: $232,500 Sale price: $375,000 House was extremely dated and had structural framing issues which we negotiated the price down substantially.

@Mike MendezPutting less than 20% down on an investment property is an extremely bad idea.

Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
