Keep in mind the average person only buys/sells a total of 3-4 houses in their LIFETIME, and on top of that 80%+ do so using the traditional approach of buying retail off the MLS and having real estate agents hold their hands thru every step of the process.You, my friend, are a Wild West cowboy finding opportunity where others dare not tread. 

Appfolio should be able to handle retail, industrial, office, and flex space without any issues.

I think it's usually a very different person that's good with the investment side than the person good at retail.

How many beds/baths do you want?

There is very low profitability in retail so we have focused on the repair and services ends now.

Im looking for a 4+ bed 2+ bath.

If it can be done, I would love it to be a 3 bed, 2 bath at 1000 sq. ft a side.

At that point, the tenant, who had ignored previous communication, responded that Grandma is just "visiting" (NOT what she told her caseworker), and that she DOES have a bed in a specific nursing home, that they were just "trying it out", to see if they could manage keeping her with them, and that if they could, THEN they were going to ask if they could have her move in with them, and that meanwhile, one of the bedrooms in the house would be dedicated to her exclusive use when she visits, which means that they are packing 7 children into two bedrooms, with the fourth bedroom set up with a walker, oxygen, all Grandma's needs for when she "visits" but there's not much I can do about them stuffing 7 kids into 2 bedrooms, while keeping a guest bedroom. 

Are you looking to work with investors or retail buyers?
