A "good" investor wouldn't do something like that unless they know it can sell on the retail market.Another reason might be that they tried to wholesale it, they couldn't.

If they then pass on the deal to a rehabber or retail buyer and that person crunches their own numbers and is happy with the price, what does it matter what the wholesaler got it for?  

If you are looking for an 'out' - be very clear with the seller that you are in the business of helping people sell who are motivated enough to sell below 'retail' and you work hard to find buyers.  

I hear all the time that guys have these massive lists but I'm not necessarily looking for a massive list.

Limited retail.  

You haven't even said what this is.Office, Retail, Industrial, Multifamily, Hotel??

I am really enjoying this career path and look forward to participating in this forum.Currently my team handles a good deal of VA foreclosures, and retail sales up to $1M. 

I would also be careful about buying in the 20-30K range, it's tough to make such houses cash flow and there aren't many retail buyers for them, so they are hard to flip.

Do you pay retail for your rahabs?

Hey there @Aaron Rickett.My business right now is almost 50/50 retail vs investors.
