Let them know that you fully plan to live there, but the nature of your business...

We expect to see a significant increase in activity in the spring when market activity should climb naturally.”

I raised funds for a nonprofit for many years and building relationships and raising funds is pretty natural to me.

The city has gone through a lot the past few years with the natural disasters and it has affected the values in certain areas.I would love to talk more about the area, and help you with the deal in anyway that I can.

Naturally, I'm curious who your PM is, and how you like them over time, and how this property performs for you in the long run.   

As a tenant you likely love tenant friendly but when you become the landlord can see it from a totally different perspective.Since you say the location is excellent the long term dirt value over time seems like it might grow in value.The cash flow stream has to do with how many years left are remaining on the primary lease term and if the tenants are national, regional, mom and pop in nature.

As you focus your efforts many options will naturally begin to weed themselves out.  

It also depends what type of flooring you are going for such as tiles, porcelain, natural stone, laminate, vp, lvp, EH, or hardwood.

Are they mom and pop in nature, regional, or national (even global)?

I can get this yard cleaned up, graded for adequate drainage (don't bother with french drains), have pavers laid, a fireplace, mulch with plants etc for 4 figures easily and it looks a hell of a lot better than the bare minimum.
