Thank youRemote offering and co-working have have definitely disrupted he traditional office sector and affected it just like amazon has done to retail, hence the vacancies.

@Holly Hudson I think a savvy retail should be able to help you with 5-8 properties, but it does take some extra knowledge beyond 1-4 units.

However, I do not believe it is the correct market for you with your current plans.You will buy an RE that is cash flow negative (all retail SFR in san Diego are cash flow negative without a value add) to move out in one year. 

I have purchased 2 houses with her over the past 5 years, but they have been at or close to retail.

I would also look at the contract you have with the retailer in terms of measurement responsibility.

Buyer's agent usually deals with the details so that the retail purchaser doesn't have to.

@Vincent RiboniIt's to live in, but just like my last one, I'm not super picky and I want a below retail deal on a house that needs work.

I am looking to start small and scale t a long term successful investor with holding of large office buildings and retail shopping centers.In order to accumulate these assets I first need to start small and grow my knowledge, experience, and bank account.Is it best to start of by flipping houses and using the profits to fund buy and hold rental properties or it is best to start out by buying rental properties and using the cash flow to purchase other properties.

Most turnkey investors are retail investors.
