My intentions aren't to bring any hostilities because I want to work towards getting these concerns addressed and hopefully in time fulfilled.

Hello,I am looking for rough guidelines on commercial retail spaces to help a friend evaluate a property.Property currently has 3 tenants bringing in @ $50K a year in rent.

You can always bring in partners.I would figure out what you want first and then lay out a plan.

These are also 2 family homes we're talking about, 3 family's would bring in about $3600 gross and be about $25000 although some savvy investors are buying. 3 family's for the same price.

And when you say "brought 3% CASH to the table - to cover your closing costs" is it a normal practice that Homepath lenders will consider that part of your down payment and only ask you to bring 12% as a DP?

We have coin-op in our 4-plex and they bring in about $60/mo.

And there's always some great articles at: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/Also, I'd check out the free BiggerPockets Podcast Josh and Brandon do an excellent job of bringing different guests on and finding golden nuggets of info.

Many, even most (but not all) realtors are not going to take kindly to low-ball offers from individuals that are bring buyers to pay more for a property and cut them out of a greater commission.Third, buyers can get access to MLS listings (including REO) though other agents and online sources.

I understand about bringing value and with my extensive knowledge of investing in the financial markets, I think I could help a savvy investor and offer a lot of information, but I feel like because of my young age and inexperience I will be highly doubted and criticized.

I appreciate the offer Jason however I'd have to know more about you and what your experience is before I would bring anyone in on a project.
