Been wanting to get away from buying retail and fix and hold .

Both are 2 bed & 1 Bath.

I've known some real dip sticks that said July wasn't the best month to retail. 

At the end of 2019, I closed on two retail spaces in a small mountain skin town ( one houses my boutique - the other is a rental space).

While I realize I still have a ton to learn, one thing immediately became clear to me once I started diving into RE investing and realizing it’s possible for me, that is -- NEVER pay RETAIL for property.

Let’s say that you purchase a 3 bed 2 bath 1500 sq ft home with a money partner who gets a loan.Purchase Price: $100,000.20% down payment, 80% bank loan at 6.0 % interest, 30 year amortization.Your principal and interest payment is $599.55 taxes and insurance about $150.00PITI monthly payment of about $750.00Now you advertise that you have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home for sale (on a lease with option to purchase agreement).

When I purchased they told me that once the residential section was complete the construction on commercial and retail properties would begin.

These list agents have often been in the industry much longer than I have been so it must not be as common among strictly retail transaction realtors.

I bought a 4 bed 2 bath flip for $5,000 to the seller and taking over their $164,000 mortgage.

The one I live at was $90k for a 5 bed 2 bath den mud room basement and 1.5 acres of land with no rehab needed.
