I've already bought the property because I was afraid of rising rates (got a 3.4% thank goodness because they're literally in the 7s now), but it's still costing me 1800/month before construction starts.

I would not anticipate much turnover so could be good cash flow over the long run, the question is the long-term appreciation… depends on your strategy and weather you’d be managing themselves or relying on unknown local property manager, contractors, etc.

I'd love to connect and learn about the market.Context: I own a STR/MTR management company in Los Angeles and we're considering expanding to a market friendlier for STRs.

Do you have recommendations for low cost options to post a 10 day notice on the property? 

I don't think it costs anything to list on zillow. 

In my case I live in the DC metro area and the cost of rent anywhere I would want to live would be 1500-2000 a month (obviously split with a roommate) I would rather continue to grow my business and hopefully save up enough for a down payment then move out and spend a ton of money just because it’s quote on quote time

Minimal risk, cost, etc. 

In theory you could also recover 1/6th of the CAM costs, too, but in my very limited experience with mixed use, the first floor commercial could very well push back on that, since they very well may not be utilizing almost any of the common area, depending on building layout.CAM would come from any number of places, commonly:Cleaning and utilities for any common lobby.Window cleaning for the buildingParking lot maintenanceLandscapingCommon HVAC maintenance, i.e. if a single furnace heats multiple spacesUltimately, you will want to be talking with either a commercial leasing agent or an attorney that specializes on commercial leases.One thing to note, while NNN leases are generally great, there is certainly work for you on a semi consistent basis, in creating the monthly escrow amounts and annual reconciliation.  

Find a market you like, then look for a really good property manager with a long track record.
