This last piece is likely the area that is causing confusion, because flagging and looking at situations that might be "fraud" can cause some grey areas

Last but not least, would hiring a commercial leasing agent specializing in retail be the best route and would they help source potential clients?

I tried the ice cube enhancement last night, all I got was a slap lol

Quick background, last year was my first year of real estate investing and long story short I pulled the trigger on 2 STR properties at the end of the year. 

Sadly we the amount of infill lots is a fraction of what it was 9 years ago when i started there and we have been shut out last few years.

Hi BPer's I bought a single family investiment property in Texas last year - currently my son is living in it (paying the mortgage) and now I'm back in California.

Since April of last year, you need to wait a full 12 months of "seasoning" to use this value in the LTV qualification - DSCR Lenders generally have a much shorter period to wait until you can use this market value vs. your cost basisIf we're able to close/rehab/rent in a period of 2 months, Is there a minimum seasoning period before we can Cash Out using a DSCR?

Last thing I'll add is that I would expect to be able to pay off the mortgage within ~5 years.

Lastly, make sure you reach out to potential buyers and network, your buyers will tell you exactly what kind of property (and where) they're looking to buy.

Last year at this time people thought 2023 would start with a hard crash, instead the smart money moved to take things off market in jan 23 as they realized rates would not be that low again for likely a year maybe 2.
