Anyone that has experience feel free to drop me a line.

Hi @Ryan Dunn - the easiest is just to ask a few brokers that are active in the area, you can also simply attend a local real estate investors meetup (a lot of them are free or very inexpensive) and let folks know you're looking to offload your inventory. 

Feel free to reach out if you want specifics, but if not best of luck in your journey!

Not necessarily a cash flow but rent/mortgage free allowing me to save up and purchase my 2nd property.

Hopefully you did not pay too much for the dirt. 1 acre is optimal these days because of desired double to triple drive thru for QSR.It can become a problem because if they make the building smaller you get less rent but they do more sales.Example a QSR used to be 3,000 to 4,000 sq ft but now instead wants double drive thru's as not many go inside for fast food like pre-covid.If you get 1,000 a foot less at 30 a foot you just lost 30k NOI and now at 5 cap example paying all cash NNN once developed you have lost 600k value.It can fine as long as you do not overpay for the land.

Same effect as the "cash for clunkers" program of the same era.

The PM is a for profit business , they are not there to "save" you money , they are there to get the job done .You can ALWAYS get things done cheaper , but is your PM going to schedule 3 contractors for estimates and wait 1/2 a day for them to show up for free?  

However, the Houston Housing Authority recently lowered the payment standard significantly, by over $1,000 per month, which has made this strategy less viable.Now, I'm considering mid-term rentals (MTR) for better cash flow and less management compared to short-term rentals (STR).
