Power Teams" in my opinion are guru speak to sound interesting, but to me setting up a power team, before you have something for them to do... its like setting up a retail operation, buying a building, setting up a corporation, getting attorneys, insurance, an accountant and trucks, then trying to decide what you want to sell.

It appears it is listed above retail value so as an investor, I would guess your time is better served finding a more motivated home seller with a price well under market value.

Given the mixed-use development of Retail/Residential/Office/Hospitality, we will be able to tap into that demand quite heavily.

When you buy and hold property do are your rehab numbers come closer to the rental or retail side of things?

My wife's online retail store has taken off, bringing in roughly 70k a year.

Just be prepared to buy something else (on the retail market!)

s suggestion that you actively work the agent side at the same time, which will:* earn transactional income* get you tuned into even better to what buyers want, to aid your flipping* allow you to confidently and effectively list your own flips if you want (many investor/agents don't list their own flips because they don't do retail agent work and aren't good at marketing to retail buyers)* get your name out there better, and get you plugged into the network of real estate agents in your area.You should be able to find a broker that charges x$ per transaction, rather than a %.

Make sure you tell him to give you "retail" pricing, not what you're going to pay him.

If you plan to represent retail buyers/sellers, you'll probably want to join a larger brokerage that has good training programs -- but you'll pay for those resources in terms of monthly fees and commissions splits.

And are you selling to retail buyers or other investors?
