I dont think I had ever spoken to someone on a grocery store, save to say excuse me, before moving here.

If you're creating notes that's a totally different story but most of the elements still apply. 

Right after moving in, they claim a single element on the kitchen stove being on is causing a bulb to burn out in a bedroom but magically not trip a breaker.

I told her all she needs to do is store the remaining possessions for the required time but obviously run that by legal advice.

I definitely see where you're coming from though in regards to maximizing the multifamily element of a fourplex while utilizing the low fixed rate of a residential loan.What markets have you been looking into for your properties?

Even though we're 30 mins outside of the main city, we're still within a 1/2 mile of a Super Walmart and the adjoining satellite stores that follow.

Can they store belonging in the basement? 

@Moises R Cosme you have some excellent points and those are why I usually avoid getting involved with residential condos myself.However @Carrie Benoit was asking about retail condos so they are meant to be leased to small businesses and the comparison to SFs or MFs isn't really a good one.Basically, these are the small-medium size store fronts you often see at the ground level of busy foot-traffic areas.At this point (in the pandemic) it's much more about whether you think retail is a good risk or not, since we don't really know what foot traffic is going to be like, whether we'll have another lock down, etc.I don't have any direct experience with retail condos though I have run across them a few times in my travels.

@Ryan Guffey I also worked a w2 job when I started flipping.I got my first from a wholesaler,I let them do the leg work,but did my own due diligence and numbers.I used bandit signs at contractor stores to find my contractors.Meet as many other investors in your area as possible,they already have what you want and many will “share” deals contractors etc.Best of luck!
