We can sell in what is still a very hot retail market due to low supply, or we can rent if that becomes necessary (or even potentially sell it as a turn key).

@Alex Smith I'm not as familiar with the Ft Myers/Naples markets but in Sarasota County, it is pretty easy to keep a furnished short term rental booked most of the year with snowbirds in the winter willing to rent at 2-3x market rates and vacationers in the summer at around 1.5x.

Would it be nice to buy stocks now at 20-30% off "retail" price with a few clicks rather than wielding a hammer and paint brush and/or chasing down contractors and unclogging toilets?

If you're going to sell it retail to a primary home buyer.... you will need to get your tenant out/not renew their lease and spend some money sprucing it up. 

I think there will be a large impact on retail, restaurant, hospitality, student housing, and office properties.

Retail buyers were clawing for houses when I brought last year (bidding wars) that has since come to a screeching halt.

Retail home sales have remained steady, as have home prices.

Which I can understand because unfortunatley locally here there have been bad actor investors that did deed theft that sort of stuff, so they feel more comfortable working with a licensesed agent. 

I'm in shopping center leasing so I see it in similar terms: landlord leases an empty box to a restaurant/retailer and the tenant does their tenant-specific improvements.I plan to look for properties that have the "bones" of what RAL operators are looking for (single-level, 4 or 5 bedrooms) and allow them to make the improvements they need.

Asset types vary from small retail centers to hotels.
