For 20+ years, I've operated and consulted with businesses in both Carolinas, New York, Nevada, and California, working primarily in the fields of hospitality, retail, food & beverage, and IT.

Buying lists from listsource doesn't make as much sense to me since a lot of the absentee or high equity owner occupants could have houses that are updated and in retail ready shape. 

I have some rentals and have rehabbed some rentals but no retail rehabs under my belt yet.What I would like to do if it is feasible is get to where I can sell 12 rehabs a year, one a month average while working full time and then move to 24 a year as a full time business.

Hi All,i am New to the real estate investing and i am learning now i am realing j scott book on flipping house taking me a while to finish but i am getting there. as i am reading i also reached out to a real estate company near where i live. about looking for property for me.I have no idea what i am doing so i am going with the flow.I live in farrockaway NY used to live in Brooklyn its a half hour drive so its close to each other.anyways i am interested in retail propertys to start i feel like it a good place to start if any body can give me some advice weather to start here or go to wholesale or some thing else please let me know.so the real estate sent me this listing http://links.mlslirealtor.com/PublicWeb/CL_CF.asp?...

In those deals that I do partner with, I've either: 1) generated the lead and let my partner complete the transaction (perhaps requiring court order or similar action); 2) tied the deal up contractually, hence set and structured the terms, letting my partner rehab and retail; or, 3) received opportunity referred to me by lead-generator (bird dog) who has identified the target and connects me with an alpha principal, and I put it together for my team to complete and monetize.Since I've been in the game since the 70's, I get to pick and choose who I work with.

The property should be one you are prepared to buy, fix, and retail; or, buy, fix and rent YOURSELF.Why?

As a property manager, it has taken me years to develop the relationships that I have where I get beyond 50% discounts from retail from individuals that do a A+ job.  

I would like to do mixed use development with retail on the ground floor and apartments or condos above.  

Building retail projects in SC side ( Rock Hill, Ft Mill , and Tega Cay) So things are getting interesting so to say.

@Stanley Denman a distressed seller typically can't wait on a typical retail transaction.
