Doesn't cost you extra.

There is no way more than 10 people can fit in our dining space.I was hoping this wouldn't be an issue but after being live 2 weeks we've already received 2 inquiries on VRBO where the potential guest asked about the dining space and ended up not booking when they found out all 16 people couldn't eat together.Is this a common occurrence and I just got unlucky with these 2 guests or have people figured out a hack for extra dining space?

You might look into a hanging vanity if you want to class the bathroom up for an extra $200. 

More than likely, you need to get the seller to carry for 7 years and not 5 so you have an extra 2 years to hit your goal.I would not worry about whether the tenants will be long-term or short-term as the market will decide that for you.

My tenants appreciate it and hopefully the extra effort pays off in the long run. 

Yes, we convert our development, ownership and the extra equity in the property.  

Although I have an extra vehicle I could sell to come up with a few thousand dollars.

I can handle paying that extra bit of negative cash flow per month but is it worth it?

Management is usually not as intensive as say multifamily but still has work so need to make sure you are getting extra yield for return over a single tenant NNN property that is investment grade.The amount of work with a retail center depends on the tenant mix of national, to regional, to mom and pop tenants.As far a tenant going dark you the landlord will then have to entice another tenant to lease the space and everything is negotiable as to lease structure, landlord TI's, leasing commissions, etc.

When you buy a property for cash, spend the extra money to pay for title insurance.
