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.). 

Unfortunately, there aren't many of them so you have to work at their pace. 

Not all at once but at a nice gradual pace is doable. 

I've had a successful career in automotive retail now for over 28 years, but it hasn't gotten me the freedom and independence, or the wealth (frankly) I should have at this point in life.

I am looking for a 40-50k sq ft retail space to do a buildout for venues.

(My rentals are in the 120-150k retail value range and rent for $1150-$1400).
