I wouldn't have realized that I love RE so much in the first pace if it wasn't for a supervisor who steered me in the right direction.

how is your market in Mobile.. is there a market for rehab to retail ?

I don't fully agree with Jay, there are many urban areas close to downtown Indy that are full of renewal and the demand is there by retail buyers.

The BP community hears your cry for help and you might not get anyone to assist, as this property is likely at retail price and available to others online as well.

Lol sorry @Jeremy Pace  :) We've sorta got that capability, but it's not running perfectly yet.

For buy-and-hope speculators, who are paying retail prices, they're at the mercy of the market.

But here's the other issue I see with the scenario and why it may not be cash flowing.You seem to be proposing buying the houses retail.

If you are looking to work primarily "retail" clients, I would target the neighborhoods where you feel you 'fit in' best with the residence.  

We actually existed our retail property division in April to a national vendor, this department would take on any homeowner but not any property we were selective, but we were constantly battling massive overhead cost due to the unique qualities and building found at every site, being scattered site with over 700+ doors under management was super complex and required a lot of staff.

After eating this retail division of property management, we now exclusively only manage Turnkey assets for investors, the purpose here is to eliminate these misc. pitfalls associated with scattered site unique homes, the quality is sometimes not their however, the owner may feel they have something spectacular, we take out the unique element now and apply a uniform system throughout the entire spectrum of Turnkey inventory this enhances performance and value.
