Besides if you have your 15K along with someone else's 25K, that only leaves you with 40K which is just enough to get a property acquired but not enough to do a rehab to retail in most cases.

Thanks.It's rampant In my area as well- kinda frustrating to see "insider" short-sales closing at half retail, but the banks don't care, and no one else has any right to intervene.

I won't consider them as a retail flip though, since it's unlikely my buyer could get financing at my increased resale price.5.

Now that invitory is low and sales are picking up I hope to start fixing and retailing again.

Do the residential properties have retail space near them?

Conversely, the Realtor(r) brand--although very good with ethics on a retail level--is too often associated with the shiny, not-very-sophisticated networker.  

If you are a Real Estate Agent or an investor who does fix-and-flips and targets retail buyers, its easy.

You might wholesale it, whole tail it, flip it to a retail buyer, or rent it out and hold.

In my opinion you should approach the deal as if you were oing to buy it, fix it, and retail it yourself.

Initially started out with SFH flip, but now much more comfortable with NNN retail investing.
