Space is large enough for warehouses, distribution centers, supermarket, retail, medical use, office, etc.Is there a way to reach out to large companies directly?

It's very close to NBSD and there are plenty of retail/restaurants/etc. nearby, which would make it highly desirable for military renters.

@Connor Pine retail and real estate sales, there are no prerequisites that's the great thing about REI.

I'll wait a while before contacting the seller (- or wait till it goes to tax sale because it's in default).Maybe with retail buyers we're back to fear-of-missing-out (like in 2004-2006)?

If the deal is a quick retail cosmetic flip you can run a tighter margin if its a full rehab you want to stick with 65-70% formula 

A lot of institutional money that would have been flowing into Hospitality, Retail and Office has also helped boost MF valuations.

So we:Concentrate on location within appealing towns, often ones next to very expensive townsHigh owner occupancy and low rental percentagesWalking distance to something appealing/transportationHas some advantage over nearby options, to avoid “widget” competitionIs appealing to an end user/ retail buyer, likely starter home or downsizing, to avoid investor to investor sales.Figure out ways to add valueWe aim for B to B+ properties or ones we can transition to that.

They are also an unsinkable portfolio, because every unit stands on its own and can be sold on its own for full retail, and not to an investor.

Only issue is that I have no idea how smaller retail units will return after all this, if they even can. 

They take jobs in the field of their choice (technology, real estate, retail, etc), learn the business from the inside out, save some startup capital and THEN venture out on their own.The other benefit of this methodology is that if you fail, you're not going to have to flip burgers to pay your rent...you'll still have skills to go back and either try again or rebuild your war-chest for the next venture.
