If you're considering a 4-tenant retail development, I'll assume you've already performed a fair amount of the preliminary due diligence and evaluation such as:* identified actual demand for the product type in the market you are considering, along with supply in process within competition area to the proposed site.* understand current market rents for the type of tenant and construction you are considering, and at your specific location.* understand delivery timelines, TI schedules, and general construction process/permitting for you and the end users.* have identified the most likely tenants for the development in question, and understand the building criteria each have for spaces.If you haven't answered "Yes" to each of the above, I would recommend pausing until you have the above nailed down.

As you probably know, the amount of effort to manage an A grade property is a small fraction of how much effort is required to manage a C or D grade property.Also, over the years I've greatly refined my systems for tenant screening/management/turnover, and this has significantly reduced my workload....and as others have mentioned, we're lucky to have these types of problems--keeping that in mind is always useful.  

In competitive markets like Pinellas County, agents can be inundated with inquiries.

.- Despite high rates and competitive market, 15-20% Cash on Cash return can still be found.- Bullish on long term appreciation as many high net worth individuals move to the area, surrounding areas seeing luxury development, and businesses (Wall Street South).- Majority mom and pop operators, easy to become a top listing with the right marketing and property!

Because the cash flow isn't that great due to HOA, I am hoping to find a PM who is competitively priced with their fees without sacrificing quality.

Selling your current home to transition into a new home and rental properties is a smart move.For selling your current home, conduct a thorough market analysis to price it competitively, enhance curb appeal, and consider minor improvements.

Whatever is competitive with your close in competition in your marketplace, Or however you decide you want to offer the apartment to the class C renting public.Good Luck!

Anyplace you'd take your family on vacation could be great areas.You'll need a great property and to be able to stand out from your competition. 

Nashville seems competitive but a house hack doesn't have to be a home run :)

Off-market deals can sometimes offer unique opportunities and less competition, allowing you to potentially find properties at better prices or with favorable terms.On the other hand, for the Dayton and Cleveland areas, you may find that there are great deals available primarily through on-market channels.
