Just outside of town, hell of a deal. So far people here have suggested a car lot, a wholesale scratch and dent appliance warehouse, flooring store. Would love input and ideas!

Ok to lease it out, but with so much commercial space presently available tenant business may want improvements. Beware cost of tenant improvements.

Micro is not macro.

Macro shows there’s a ton of vacant space. Micro may beg to differ. It’s like saying there is no housing available, then you go to small town USA and every 3rd house is abandoned because there’s no one to buy them.
