This specific property had a crawl space, that in a typical market, I feel would have been more difficult to sell, without a significant updating cost from my end.

It has a very artsy theme (named the Ithaca Art House on STR sites!)

LVT flooring throughout, a modern kitchen with backsplash and quartz counters, double pane vinyl windows, custom baths with tile, lots of natural light, sliding doors off master to rooftop deck ready to be personalized, and a spacious backyard.

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.

You make your money when you buy, and I'm not in a space where I want to kill myself trying to find or "make" a deal in this market. 

I'm married with soon to be 5 kids, so I need the rest of the space, but when I'm ready to move on, itll provide a great space for larger groups too.Thanks!

Not to promote fraud or anything, but if you are spacing out your work then maybe you won't need to pull a permit.

Please invest in yourself from professionals in the creative space.
