In my opinion, this is much more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

Hopefully that answers your questions, but feel free to reach out with any specifics if i can help!

Are there any recommendations from anyone who have found certain news sites or data sources to extract data from that has helped them understand the current market landscape in their target area?

If you’re looking to invest in your backyard, it helps to network with as many local investors as you can.

In my opinion, this is far more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.it is relativly simple and although costing money it is relativly the more cost effective one.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's realistic that you will find a generic commercial lease online that checks all the compliance boxes for your state, city, and county.There are limited service property managers that will do retail tenant placement (rather than full property management, which it seems like would be overkill for this one commercial unit you manage), and this would be included as part of that basket of services.You could also hire a lawyer, but I think that property management company will be more cost effective. 

I sold my rental property to buy my current condo and am available to help investors build & grow their portfolios.

I just have 5 units and am doing other work to help pay the bills in addition to doing all the property management myself (upkeep, repairs, cleaning in between tenants, mowing, finding & interviewing tenants etc).   

One way I have saw this happen that may help your situation is allowing them to send the 1099 to one individual.

It’s helpful to know what others experience with their MTRs!
