Like I said, we'll see....
It's a repo and the bank wants to unload it, pretty bad...
But the neat thing, it's the oldest building in town, estimated 1880's?

we'll see...Need to do a little research on what rents are for this area.
But thanks for the encouragement!
If it can cash flow, it's well worth it, just to get out of storage costs!

Hey, I think I remember seeing that place on my way home from your house. I spotted several cool buildings on the way to your house. There is a cool building at the east end of the main drag in Coldwater that would be and ideal haunted house. It was for sale I wonder If I can Find a pic.

Good luck Jeff. A bussiness open to the public can be subject to different building codes. Check any remodeling you may have to do carefully. And if it turns out that was a old gas station, check if the storaget tanks are still there and if you are responsable for them. Fire codes can be another issue, exits, ect.
It sounds like a nice idea, but check all the possiblities first. Don't mean to be a wet blanket, but I dont want to see you get hurt either.

i agree with the gas station thing i have seen station shut down even tanks removed b/c of the gas that is sitting in the ground b.c of people locking the handle going in and shooting the crap for 20 minutes gas kept running out into ground makes a nightmare .....id call dhec and osha....osha has some very stiff minds if they say cool its most likely cool and dhec is is great for molds and asbestos between the 2 there your best friends before you buy but can be worst enemy after.

If everything checks out, it should be a nice place for ya.
Around here, if there is any house that is considered old, it is also considered a monument and has to be restored to previous glory if bought.

You know it Bill. It's just an old house, that has been zoned commercial in the last 10-15 yrs ago. I can remember a few of the shops that have been in the down stairs, last one being a realestate office.
