It is a 2bed/1bath main house and very large 1 bed/1 bed guesthouse.

Additionally, the 12 year old helps me clean and make the beds at the vacation rental.  

Added a master bed and bathroom as the house had no true master to begin with.

We need him to review a lease contract for a retail space.  

Vacancy rates outside of large big box retail space are kinda normal. 

Purchase price: $60,000 Cash invested: $14,000 Working on another fix n flip in Jerome - 2 bed, 1 bath about 4 weeks to completion.

Those cities are namely - Holyoke, Springfield, Chicopee - and you can get properties in the price of $50-60/unit count with rents in the $900-1200 range for 2/3 beds.

Also repairs would likely need to be done over time and you would need some luck in the values and rents appreciating in the next 5 yearsOne of our clients recently purchase a home for 490k in a good area of Concord 3+2 typical rancher, after renovation we are closing escrow on the resale today for 680k.So as a Retail buyer lets say you could buy that property for 510-520k (not all cash, more contingencies, no "inside tips") and put in the work (70-90k in renovation) to make it worth 650-680k.

Keller has some really unique perks, and for my investment focus with ancillary retail I have found it a great fit.

There is a threshold, generally around that 1,000 sq ft mark, for 2 beds.
