Best way to market a 550sf commercial space in Ledroit Park
As the title suggests, I am a new landlord of a mixed-used multi-family building. The bottom unit is a commercial space that has been used as a tattoo shop in the past but is now vacant. I have tried to market the property on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace but I am not getting many inquiries. I have looked into Loopnet, but it seems like it's a service built for brokerages with a cost of about $80 per listing. Is this typical in the commercial space?
What other platforms should I use to market the property? Are commercial brokers the only way to work this market? With such a small space, it just seems a bit of a waste since rent is only about $2200 a month.
