Dude I did the swap in less than 500 Sq ft Wtf
Lol me and 2 buddies are looking for a garage/hangout/getthefuckawayfromthewivesbutistillloveher space. Well end up fixing cars and flipping them once were set up.
It does. Been wanting to do something like this for years but no one seems interested or are way too far away. Car Cave was always awesome IMO.
We should be friends again..... errr buddies, yeah buddies
Around 1500 sq ft with heat is all I would need. Plainfield, Joliet, Aurora, Oswego areas preferred. Appreciate Amy leads or info

I found a 20x55 space right off 55 by rt 30. 325$ each a month....lmk it'd just be me and you obviously. If this falls through with the other guys. They're dragging their feet it seems.
That's $770 at the units by BK and you get zero outside parking.
For a $1,300/mo mortgage I can buy a 2,800 sq/ft building in McHenry with 10 outdoor parking spots, loading dock, etc.
And it's actually like less than a mile from your house. Right behind the Jewel on 120 off Oak Dr.
ah that makes more sense.
no shit. i wonder how easy/hard it is to get financed on something like that though too...
Not hard at all, I'm doing a walk through soon-ish here, need to measure some things and see how the square footage can be utilized. This is hinging on me and my partner wanting to go through with this kind of a move, but, currently we're confined to 2-10x20 storage units and a 13'x60' semi space at an outdoor yard. Not ideal, and, paying close to $450/mo just for that.
It's getting to the point where I'm going to have to have at least some sort of a verifiable income stream from it. I'd put 20% down per usual, upside is more space and equity in the building, downside is that money isn't available for purchasing inventory. I'm in no hurry to nail anything down, as of December 5th there aren't any worthwhile auctions in this region until a few months into next year, so, no extreme need for space just yet.
My dad and I were interested in renting a smaller shop just to store our stuff and friends a few years ago in the winter. IDK what is was but the moment one of us said cars or storage they were not interested. Probably thought we were going to operate a chop shop out of it or something. He ended up renting something next to his shop but probably only because he knows the owner.
i think places are apprehensive of that as well, because it's seasonal, unless you were planning to rent it year round.
And/or perhaps having fuel, oil, etc, in there. In some cases there are zoning for certain usages.
Chicago is really bad (shocker). If you take your car down to McCormick place or any place where it's inside, the tank has to be less than a 1/4 tank, and a few other stipulations... Again, silly zoning/ordinance type shit I'm sure.
