Hi BiggerPockets family.What do you think flipping houses strategy will be too risky this year?

@Jay Hinrichs might want to comment.for the average investor who is doing sub too because its a low barrier of entry and they have little to no reserves then yes I agree that the sub too lease option is highly risky to the original owner.. 

Our tenants are mostly still paying so there is not a pressing issue but it is very unprofessional and risky on their end.

Deal size in relationship to risk is the largest factor. 

Due to the high property values in the area, it seems relatively risky for someone with minimal experience to jump right in.

I don't put too much effort into it, because I don't think the consumer gives it too much weight.So my advice is to just have a nice looking website with a few testimonials and perhaps an "about me" section and perhaps a value proposition. 

This all suggests an evolution, not an absolute decline of retail locations and a complete move to internet driven transactions with deliveries coming from warehouses.An Opportunity for InvestorsWhile many investors have decided the evolving retail landscape is too risky and perhaps have been scared off by the overwhelming negative sentiment driven by the failing concepts and asset-types, such as enclosed malls, opportunities within retail remain, provided investors are willing to move past the headlines and perform the necessary due diligence that is required for any real estate acquisition: carefully analyzing the type of property, the tenants and the location characteristics.

In this environment, with this level of risk, I would need a better deal. 

Given she's low risk, I would suggest doing something low risk with it.
