When I see deals that do pencil for an investor, the LTV is 60% or less (I deal with mostly retail and industrial). 

With single family, you can sell to investors, tenants, or on the open retail market. 

A smaller building that used to be a small community bank that could easily be retail space/ cafe.I will qualify for conventional financing for this property, but with interest rates being what they are, I'm not sure that's the best option. 

I want them to know up front what I do, what I make, and why I have to have a "lower than retail" price.  

Even the best retail agents still lack the operations and understanding of what makes a good deal, especially if they do not invest.  

Establish what type of commercial real estate interests you most—retail, office, industrial, or multifamily—and develop a plan around that.

I recently closed on a commercial condo unit (for retail), which is one unit in a building that also has 7 apartments. 

If this was me, I would leverage my equity into a commercial office/retail/industrial multi-unit or multi-family property.

For many of these hybrid and remote employees today, the main attraction to living in and around a major city like D.C. is the easy access to retail and entertainment areas, especially experience and community-focused retail areas.
