I've commented on this site before...of the few tasks I clicked on, the prices they quote are about 20% more than I'd pay for the identical work in the markets where I work.This site is more geared towards retail pricing of renovation tasks...investors should be looking to pay less than retail...

We do mostly retail/office but have a few medium density residential projects as well.

@Ben Hughes : Thanks, my husband and I are buying a new construction at retail...

If you're planning on retailing it, be careful about replacing windows.

Hi Per,What type of properties have you bought the last 10 years.I can't really answer your question without knowing what type of asset class you are looking into for investments.For example considerations will have commonalties among asset classes (retail, office, SFR, land, industrial, multifamily, self - storage, etc.) but there will also be many unique attributes that are key to look at for each individual asset class.This is why using specialist depending on property types is essential to not overlook things to analyze and take into consideration.

I am just back from a weekend trip looking at both turnkey and retail properties and have some homework from lessons learned!

Do you have any commercial or retail experience?

Thanks @Aaron MontagueIm still not sure I understand how this is beneficial....from what I gather, if I was to do owner financing it would be at or near retail price......how does that work to my advantage?

Hello,I'm just starting out in this field of real estate and my husband and I are currently in the process of buying our first rental property here in Houston, a new construction at retail value.I'm very much interested in rehabbing, prepared to work hard and am really hungry for knowledge in flipping houses and would be really grateful if I could have an experienced investor to guide as a mentor.Best Regards,Veena.

Some areas can actually cash flow at 90 and even 100% of the retail price (at least some of the suburbs here in Illinois).
