I have a 2 car attached garage and a 3 car detached garage. I framed an 8x16 office in the detached garage and it was a lot better than trying to run the business out of the house. However, I don't have a bathroom in my office so when nature calls I must walk to the house.

Now I want a shop. I am tired of storing tools and materials in MY garage.

I just finished an industrial condo bldg. about 10 minutes from my house. The units measure 18x52 with an overhead door and single entry door. The units are roughed for bathrooms. The owner is selling them for 96K. I am considering purchasing one of them.

Now, 2 minutes from my house is another property that has around 1600 square feet. Again with an overhead door and an office and bathroom already built. But the owner is asking 145K. Another unit in the same building sold for 135K and it was an end unit that faced the street. I offered 120K and they countered with 137K. I said no thanks. It's still for sale. I would prefer to have the second property but it's around 42K more.
