After more than a year of searching, we’ve finally found a great building, large enough to accommodate our entire operation under one roof. At nearly 14,000 sqft, it is the space we’ve dreamed of for more than 10 years. The space is perfect EXCEPT it’s next to the transitional housing facility, city sanctioned tent city, the soup kitchen, and the food bank. We’re an auction house and our customers would come to the facility to drop of their consignment items and to pick up their winning bids.
I’ve thought about electronic access with fencing to the street with gates, but will that be enough to deter them? Am I making a horrible decision with my life savings?
I have auction house in not great area. I havent had any issues. You can fence and get electric gate. There is homeless shelter on same street but its about 1 mile away. So the homeless hangout on the street but not near my business. So go look at building at different times. Are people hanging around it? Check with insurance agent aabout rates for building. I made a lowball offer for my building. I was the 1 and only offer. I expected a countrr offer and got a yes. So i say do your research and then buy it. Ive had mine 2 years now and im happy with my decision.
This one is literally two minutes walking distance. I drove by and saw someone across the street masturbating. I think this is too close.
