I just spoke with a preferred SBA lender that says, by following the same guidelines as the SBA, they can approve an SBA 504 in a week or less.

Your choice would be to earn $750 per month in income and hoard th ecash in yur property praying the markets do not turn or sell and reinvest to earn potentially $2900 per month.Probably the same risk with more than 3X the reward.

Let’s say I have 5 investors, a mix of fix and flip, buy and hold, and short-term rental investors who each give me their preferences on acquisition cost, cash flow, property specs, location, etc.

It’s their choices they need to live with.

I know I personally prefer having a lender who is local. 

I prefer tax deeds myself, post auction lands available tax deeds in particular.

There are a lot of good choices, you can find them on BP.

Disclaimer that i'm new to real estate investing.From just quickly looking at the numbers, looks like you have way better investment choices than the property you listed. for a $300K loan (and $70K Equity), you can find 3 x $100K properties that can get you $1000 a month (or more) depending on the area that you invest in.
