Looking for wholesale or retail deals, contractors/subs for rehabbing, property managers and eventually lenders for a cash-out refi ( I'm being told locally that lower rate products are on the horizon in 2020, 2021.. ).  .. .Also, I love BP and can't believe the mine of rich information here ! 

In my area, I would think an individual might buy the lot at retail to hire a Builder to build their own home or a Builder might buy it as 50%-75% off retail in order to build a house on "speculation" hoping to sell the lot with the finished home on it.I'm not sure how it might work in your area though.

In the last 2 years I bought a retail/office space and a lakehouse to rent out in Tennessee.

As long as there is a retail or Commerical component to the development it’s usually a good thing.

I might have missed something on the government site.I know that in the UK, the regulator there, the FCA, has a path which allows a non-accredited investor (the UK term: restricted retail) to progress to accredited (the UK term: sophisticated).

Retail buyers usually don't have the funds, time, experience and nerves to take on a rehab; that's why there is a market for flippers.

Sales prices will obviously differ based on multiple factors but were aiming for each project to retail between 70-110.

In Upstate SC, the housing market is booming at an unsustainable pace.

However, that doesn't mean you still can't find a good deal below retail value.

I like to go over the lease with the tenant in person or over the phone at a pace they request (line by line or pointing out the clauses they may be more interested in such as when rent is due, late payments, etc. and skipping portions such as joint and several liability, non-waiver, etc.).
