Our industry is closely tied to the job market.But savvy property investors are great at adapting their business models to take advantage of current market conditions.When the money dried up for retail buyers, the investment risk that goes along with flipping houses increased substantially.

If it's a flip you must get VACANT insurance (which is a lot more expensive) and many agencies won't touch.My 10+ policy covers rentals and retail deals, and is very affordable compared to what I used to pay.

But if you buy a house at retail, 2% is very hard if not impossible.

Accounting, finance, prelaw, or any of the hard sciences (Assuming you intend to make a career out of it) are all excellent ways to spend tuition money.On a personal level, I know far too many art majors who work retail jobs in order to starve with their 4 room-mates who also got useless, no-return degrees and work jobs that they could have gotten straight out of high school.

I got tired of the is this legal or not so just sent it in to the department for clarification.. this person got a case opened got a cease and desist and is now licensed.   

Hi Huiping,In 20+ years of being a landlord for both residential and office/retail spaces, I've never had a problem evicting in Durham or in Granville County. 

One of my favorites is from CDOGGR (California Department of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Recourses).

On a retail deal I'm doing at the moment, the sales price of which is $340K, I saw an escrow fee on the closing statement of $995.

Trying to find a deal in phoenix that isn't retail seems almost impossible haha there are a TON of investors here.

There are other sponsors of equal or greater caliber throughout Texas (and a handful of other states) that we're working with that have 30+ years of retail development experience across hundreds of deals.
