When I first "started" wholesaling, I spent massive amounts of time learning, reading and doing all my marketing in-house.

It is specifically on the negative reputation of retail right now.  

Negotiating, and networking are such massive parts of real estate anyways so on top of getting more familiar with people in real estate you will be getting hands on experience in what it is like to work as a real estate investor.

@Brian Pulaski The buyer came in with a massive down payment, so we were good.  

Most the turnkey outfits operate in less than hot zip codes or in areas that are cheap to buy and fix so they can easily maximize retail profits.

I am looking at a mixed use building with retail/office bottom floor and apartment upstarts as residential.

We have done a massive lot in the last year. 

Like most other I use the big box retailers.

I've heard some horror stories, so anything that can be leveraged would be helpful for everyone.Below is a sampling of the type of properties we are currently targeting:- Office Space - Industrial property - 20+ multifamily- Retail centers (strip centers ok)- Medical facilities/clinics - Self storage- Mobile home parksShoot me a message if you'd like more details or recommendations for other information to post for everyone.

I'll rent to a retail tenant on the first floor and one or two additional tenants on the second level (offices).
