When you are used to paying wholesale for something, paying retail or even discounted retail just feels wrong.Thank you again for your reply

Hi Rhonda,I did two podcasts on commercial real estate on BP.One was multifamily years ago.The other one was on multifamily and retail NNN investing.

Ive grown up dealing with commercial income property, being partners with my father in a 3 unit and a 1 unit retail building.

If the deal is an income property, i.e. 5+ unit apartment building, self storage facility, mobile home park, office building, retail center, etc then the value can be calculated from the Net Operating Income capitalized at some given rate.

You paid retail and financed 100% of the house.

My areas of expertise nationally is transacting deals for retail triple net leasing, strip centers, etc. and then larger apartment buildings.I also represent clients with considerable funds as well.

He owns it outright.We've agreed to $85k due in 3.5 years$3k at closing$700/mo interest only payments starting Jan, 2015I plan to fix/flip the house this year for $25k in repairs and retail for ~$150K.  

Hint: look for where new employers, new roads, retail, etc. are going in. 

I set the price so I could give a bit and so I could pay the closing if need be to get a deal done.How can I market this to a buy and hold investor or even a retail buyer?

The distressed listings seem to sell for as much as the retail listings; very strange.There are areas in North Katy / Cypress where the neighborhoods were built using cheap materials and will likely never appreciate in value and those areas don't attract the best clientele.
