The house is not in bad condition, but I added up $25,000 worth of updates and such to get it up to a modern looking retail sale.

Retail and also large apartment buildings.The problem I see with some foreign investors is they have small amount to invest.

Often times if the deal doesn't make sense to an investor then the property might just be a better deal to sell retail (through a realtor).

For retail you could use traditional methods, for investors or cash buyers you could market with Craigslist, eBay, YouTube, REIA meetings, calling investors who've bought in the area in the last few months, calling a self directed IRA custodian to see if they have buyers...Etc.

However, sounds like you are buying retail and renting.

DON"t PAY ABOVE RETAIL EVER!!

The influx of fresh faced college grads pouring into the city to fill positions in new tech firms, banks, auto industry and retail is also having an impact on the demographics.

Sandy has provided work for most GC's and it will be somewhat difficult to obtain non retail prices.

@John Elmenhe: To answer your questions; I'm a house flipper, I purchase homes, fix them up and sell them retail.

My question is, if you are looking at a deal that you plan on wholesaling or Wholetailing, whichever the case may be, how do you decide if the deal is worth your time versus the opportunity costs.Basically put, should I put the property under contract and then begin the process of finding your cash or retail buyer, or should I pass on this deal because the margins are to small/tight, and a better use of my time might be chasing down the next deal with better margins?
