Renting out my commercial property: Do I need to become a real estate broker?

I am not a real estate agent or broker. My apologies if I get any terminology mixed up.

I own commercial property I would like to rent out. I bought a mixed use (residential and commercial) house in New Jersey. The commercial space is about 850-900 square feet large and was previously a primary care center run by two physicians who were also the former home owners. The commercial space has an eight-car parking lot, a separate entrance, waiting room, three patient examination rooms with sinks, two offices, a half bathroom, and storage.

I am just starting out in brainstorming ways I can rent this commercial space out. I think the space would be good for dieticians, psychotherapists, dentists, physicians, life coaches, etc.

I am going to create a property rental business (LLC) for this, with necessary attorney-approved paperwork and insurance. However, I already have a full time job so I’m not interested in making commercial property rental a primary focus beyond establishing and maintaining it.

My question is: do I need to become a real estate broker to rent out my commercial property? I would rather not if I can help it but will if I must.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
