Lenders that don’t require an appraisal will perform a desktop appraisal but will typically have a very conservative view on the value of the property to protect the company’s investment.

Neither that course, nor City Park are really all that great, using that space for a true park is, in my view, a great move for the city. 

I simply view their Sec 8 voucher as additional income and try to make sure all else shows a quality tenant. 

That is how bad my view of 2022 and the next years looked to me starting late 2021.  

Possibly set up a single website and consider driving early business there from VRBO or AirBNB to get some initial views.

They're long distance typically so viewing the space in person isn't usually a priority, and this saves you time from having to drive over and schedule facetime tours :)
