Retail developers are adding offices and/or apartments/condos to their developments but they don't have the experience of residential development so they will partner with a company that does.Consult an attorney for the structure of the deal.Delegating the tasks is accomplished in a meeting of the minds of the two (or more) companies and preparing an agreement, in writing, as to how the project will flow.Every joint project begins with intentions of being the "Perfect" project and a win-win for all parties with no complications.

Though I have a partner who has a couple of retail buyers too.

There are very few conventional "retail" buyers right now.

You need to be under 65-70% of retail.

As world commerce grows and travel becomes more and more accessible to the masses Puerto Vallarta has kept pace and in many cases surpassed others as the place to be for your next exotic vacation.

I even acquired a TX Retail Brokers License and wasted time with the Repos.

I just learned a new technique that I am a little confused about If I was to find a property under contract where the Seller would sell to me at 180k and it was worth 300k would I be able to do a double closing, if I was to sell this property for 280k and a retail buyer would put 10% down and I would hold a second for 10% and retail buyer would get a mortgage for the 80%.

Estimated retail value 125K but will have costed about 50k total to get it that way.

I'm probably making some poor assumptions because I'm a newbie but my analysis tells me a little lower rent to keep a good tenant in pace is a good strategy.

You can not buy property at retail price and expect to rent it out and get positive cash flow.
