If you paid retail price for the house, it doesn't make a good rental property for cash flow purposes.

I'm an agent to so if they want to go on the retail market, they can do that as well.  

A retailer is just like other renter consumers.

You are much better off wholesaleing or doing a retail flip. 

So I can turn around and sell it retail

(Maybe) Buying 24 unit apt building with 5 retail spaces. 

The low prices thatinvestors find is not retail - they actively look for a dealRemember that youneed to actively search for a dealAs a general rule ofthumb, you should look at 100 homes, offer on ten, and only get one accepted This means you need to look at a LOT of propertiesIs the Price relative?

Sounds like your current agent may be more of a retail type agent maybe.

The PM company can also get the inside track on when an owner wants to sell and buy it themselves having already known the details of the property managing it.I have  a friend that his company manages about 10 million sq ft of retail and it doesn't hardly make any money the management but keeps staff working in up and down cycles and he gets the inside track when the owner wants to sell so he can look to add to his portfolio.The bigger property and revenue the overall the percentage fee tends to go down.
