Ever walked out of a grocery store and wondered what you bought for $160?

For me, I am specifically looking for a property in an up-and-coming, well-kept neighborhood with middle and high schools, one or two established grocery stores, and a close-by walk-in clinic or pharmacy. 

You have a qualified applicant, rent it to them and move on.

My house is next to a race track and is surrounded by strip bars and liquor stores.

They have new stores opening, re-imaging existing stores, relocating old stores, etc. so lots going on at any given time.Whatever you do make sure they do not put in early termination clause as that is a killer for resale value and your buyer getting a good loan once you sell the property.

And then look at if a second (or third) brother is needed on the application. 

Even if it doesn't show up on your credit report, you may be required to disclose it on a mortgage application.

If you planned to put a retail store, now that is a big difference ...

I would look at the application as a whole. 

So now literally talking about 1 month to close it and lenders many not accepting closing by years end as pushing newer applications and loans early in process to close next year.Maybe you could try short term owner finance to close the sale out this year if it is for tax purposes and then simultaneously run the loan process and take out the seller finance note once the lender loan comes into place.No legal or tax advice given.
