A little about me… I’m 42,single, college graduate, former retail store owner, long time renter in SouthOrange County, Ca. and actually do enjoy long walks on the beach.

If you purchase a fixer upper, you could easily under estimate rehab costs and end up spending more on a property than if you purchased it turnkey.The major con is that you're typically buying retail. 

Using "Ender" IRA capital to definance bank debt and "turn and burn" to make possible an entire chain of fund "Financiers" "Wholesalers", "Fixers" "Retail Buyers" by sharing future profits; tax free.

  - The current "issues" are showstoppers for most retail buyers.  

Last year I was like you and switched my business model back to retail real estate.

I have a 6,000 sq ft office/retail building in need of rehab and am looking to have drawings done for permits and GC bids.

Wholesale,  Lease option, retail etc...

You will not be able to sell it and get your money back for awhile because of paying retail value. 

It is not yet rented; but projections are it will rent for around $1,000/mo.I am aware that the first two are retail cost and not the best return one can get through other approaches.

Invest in a market with the potential to offer future adaptations to my strategy (multi-family, commercial retail, etc.).
