Quote from @Peter Walther: Quote from @Bob Floss II: I don't know the laws in your area, but tread carefully assuming a judge will award specific performance when money damages are available.  

Beyond carefully vetting the tenants, how can an investor protect themselves from squatters if we want to sell years down the road?

If not, I'm guessing it would be treated as a traditional rental loan, either conventional or DSCR, using market rents rather than the rent in the lease agreement.

No one cares about your properties like you do.

Is this pocket a value oriented area (most sq ft per dollar of rent) or will they care more about proximity to highways, retail, walkability?  

@Danielle B be VERY careful with S8 "gurus". 

I like that lawn and snow removal is taken care of in an association, but dislike that expense each month. 

However, since you put the asset into an LLC, I am going assume you care about asset protection and further this discussion just a bit.My advice to you is to seek out local banks where much of their business is derived from commercial lending.

Right now anyone can speculate but I would always recommend people even when they are upset - to be careful what you say.

Keep in mind that this was for a DSCR loan, not conventional financing.
