Or would we be better off going for a retail sale even at today's prices?

Just yesterday I was driving by Fritti and saw some retail shopping area being constructed.

I have done some freelance journalism and a few retail and service industry jobs since graduating from college in 2010.

Network with vendors will get you better deals on supplies, or unless you want to pay retail.

Like you I also had some qualms but decided that I was not learning anything new and the buyers list was his secret weapon.I have started building my own local buyers list, mainly by looking up those who are buying houses bellow retail in the areas I am looking at property.

Maybe it's something you could wholesale to a builder, provided any new construction in the area has enough retail value.

If it is truly in "great shape" then they probably should be listing it with a legit RE agent that can put it on the MLS and get full retail exposure.

If the comps really are 110k for retail, you could most likely sell at 120k on a wrap, collect a 10-15k down payment then finance the rest at 8-10%.

South Park is another sexy area in Dayton.Columbus is moving and shaking what I hear, not to clued in on the particular areas tho.I mean the list goes on.Team, team and team at the end of the day will make or break your investment.I know of investors making $$$millions in the war zones of Detroit just because they have the right people catering to that type of area.We will be doing quite a few A class retail flips in 2015 and will openly reveal all flip numbers.Thanks

A true wholesale deal shouldn't be priced at "retail".
