Getting an end buyer in at a good retail price won't be easy.

Your thread title is a bit misleading as commercial properties are generally refered as retail strip, office, industrial, etc.

Retail rates for the home are about $48,000(ARV).

Find out what price range and area has a lot of retail sales.

I am prospecting to commercial retail property owners, REIT's and investors looking to do 1031's.

I also flip properties via wholesaling, retailing, rehabbing, etc.I also have various other income streams in the real estate investing world.If you want to live off of rental income, you will need to first, start, then continue the process.

I am seeing some in my area from $12,000 to $30,000, $5 to 7K rehab, $30-$60k retail w/ seller financing.
