Rehab and Hold within a geographical location of 1 hr. drive seems to be the current plan.

Flipping commercial property really requires a deep understanding of the market and the subject property's potential to avoid the pitfalls of having it sit on the market because you overshot your numbers, units going unrented, your budget falling short, etc.

I was already knee deep in the buying process when the new job opportunity materialized. 

Or, if your building is in a pod of say 4-6 units, separate from the others, find out what it would cost to fix YOUR building and then feel out the other owners to see if they would be willing to split the cost.Don't sue yourself...Sorry to sound harsh, but we live in such a litigious society that it drives me crazy. 

Driving around and familiarizing yourself with where you intend to invest will also allow you to see whats going on and find properties that may be becoming available.

PS We used to live in this town but have since moved away so driving by is not an option.

I say quite, too embarrassed to talk, I'm the leader remember.Now, I'm listening to all this while I'm driving back to the HD, maybe they forgot something or returned the supplies for the cash etc...

I have a number of properties that I have gotten driving for dollars that are owned by banks.

You can't force a market, and just because it's close doesn't make it a winner...it may just mean you can easily drive by all the properties that you own that are losing money.By the way, we get a regular member, for almost 5 years, that comes from Bay City.
