Wow, you are taking massive action, very inspiring!

These do not meet 70% rule but I think I am going to start trying to get these deals to sign option contract and sell retail.

Are you flipping income product or selling retail to homeowners?

I am a registered architect in Massachusetts and has experience in high-end residential and office construction in NYC, and currently doing freelance design build retail projects in Stamford, CT.I want to be a real estate developer/ investor, and without knowing about this great site, I went to NYU to study real estate development and finance (master's).

I sign contracts with a auto dealer to purchase 100 cars at $25,000 a piece, which would otherwise retail for $30,000.

Raise rents and lower operating expenses over time and profit by buying low and selling at retail.

Their job is to get the seller the highest retail offer .. not a wholesale offer that is immediately resold for retail.

Retail appears to be around $1 per square foot in Atlanta.In Milwaukee, we typically pay somewhere in the $32 per sheet range for 8', or about $1 per square foot.

A retail agent won't put in 10 offers a week for one.

Pretty simple, properties that are held that can't be retailed for one reason or another are sold at it's market value for what it is.
