My first property was a turnkey property that I paid retail for.

My LLc is primary over our retail business and we were hit hard with owing quiet a bit of taxes around the sum of 48,500.00 for 2019.

On top of that you have no expectations from the company to do retail transactions and can basically Captain your ship.

Non community owners need a different (and stricter) license than community based retailing.

Most retail buyers have 0 vision. 

If you want to reach out I'd be happy to discuss some of my thoughts on screening.Lately I have been looking and I haven't found any SFHs that generate enough cash flow for me to put in offers, I think that SFH sellers are looking for retail buyers and Duplex owners are more realistic in pricing units knowing that the next buyer has to make money. 

Just in time too, because more and more retailers are joining Nike and Amazon in pulling Washington Redskins merchandise from their online shops.

The remainder is leased out to retail, gyms, etc.I'm looking to move into some multi-tenant small apartment complexes etc. 

It is walking distance to hospitals, retail, dining, offices and public transportation making it a desirable location for residents or visitors. 

@Justin Thorpe I agree this risk is real but also believe there with probably be some consolidation in the space over the next 10-20 years similar to what going on now in big-box retail...border gone and Barnes & Nobel pick the leftover...circuit city & best buy etc...the top-ranking colleges and the affordable ones will do well while the others will go through hard times...for the landlords, it doesn't help that many colleges also go into the housing business...in one of the markets I considered, a new complex was just completed and removed the demand for about 80-90 SFH in one year.
