My focus has been on cash flowing real estate and have purchased an indoor storage facility, a horse farm, a two tenant retail building, a mobile home park and other commercial and residential properties. 

It seems like most of these listed properties have been sitting on the market for awhile with the seller just waiting for the retail buyer to come through.

Most agents only work with retail buyers who are willing to pay retail because they fall in love with the house.  

@Greg RobergeWelcome to the site.Best advice I can give you is to start at your own pace.

@Miles White  @Jeff Copeland  Is 100% right unless you can find reliable comps where this property ARV for 300,000 then your best bet is to advise seller to try the retail route and if you have a realtor you have a relationship with do the referral and negotiate a Bird Dogging fee.

The RealtyShares Investment Platform,allows accredited investors access to a variety of real estate asset classes, including: Residential, Commercial, Retail and Mixed-Use.

With that you could build your portfolio at a pace of two or more properties per year.

People who want to move from the  fast pace of the Center City area will often find their way to this area. 

I could pass on my leads that would rather sell at retail to you and when I am ready to start buying and selling my own properties I would use you as my agent.

I can move at a snails pace to pick them up, but I know even my best properties can sit vacant for months.
