If you're going to do work on the siding and brick face, it wouldn't make sense to leave the old windows.When people look at the house and think about the cost of window replacement, they are going to think retail prices $500-$700 per window, not what it will cost you to replace them now.

Does anyone know if there’s any proforma spread sheets on BiggerPockets for developing new retail centers.

I feel old @ 20 yrs (: I use the Mojo Triple Line Dialer for cold calling neighborhoods for distressed sellers and retail ready homes that I can list (I'm also an agent). 

I called and spoke to them, about buying any of these properties from them, and their reply was, we do not have any properties for sale... unless you want to pay full retail ARV price for them, and they laughed.

Retail is great, but my primary interest here on BP is that of becoming a flipper/rehabber; I love the idea of taking something less ideal and making it beautiful for a family to live in and make great memories there.

Since then  have "graduated" to doing commercial work in multi-family, retail, claims and identity verification.I get to see classic cars, like a 55 Chev Belaire, 69 GTOs and 68 Z28s.

Wholesale a house that's ready for retail sale, with a seller who does not have any problem that would serve as motivation for a low-price sale?

@Anthony CannizzaroGlad to hear you are taking massive action to change your situation.

That way it’s easy to sell to retail buyer to go into bigger and better stuff.

Still these are legitimate questions for planning purposes.On the retail side, I can tell you that with paid leadgen sources like Zillow, Trulia and Realtor, reality is that an agent can expect to close anywhere from 0.5% to 1.5% of raw incoming leads.I can’t speak from direct experience with wholesaling, but I’d expect that the quality of your lists and lead sources will have an enormous impact.
