Our spaces have leased up quickly and easily via word-of-mouth/social media/networking to date, but they’ve also been smaller, less expensive, rehabbed spaces and very comparable to everything else on our few block long stretch of commercial storefronts.

If so, short-term renting lets you still block out any nights that you/family want to use it.

For a genuine hoarder, 6 months would not be enough anyway, heck, 12 months would not be long enough since they have mental blocks preventing them from throwing things away. 

if you are a beginning rehabber, this is a deal i would avoid, (unless you have experiences in other related areas or have researched this extensively or have asked experts i.e. structural engineers for their input), as 1) you don't know the prices your contractors would charge2) the estimated rehab costs are lumped under general categories (i.e. concrete, plumbing, electrical), but do you know which specifically/exactly you need to fix?

Everyone here started as the new kid on the block, so you're amongst friends ;)Sounds like you have a solid plan of attack to build your network.

I just purchase a new build and it’s been a few months I’m the only one on my block.

The front and back porches have settled and still have the old brick and cinder block columns along with some makeshift added supports.

IF it rents for anything under (Fill in the amount you think it will need to be then add a little wiggle room)  a month it won't cash flow.IF it is in a class C market one block from a D class I would not have high hopes for it appreciating.
