You should have no problems building a self storage business on just about any commercially zoned real estate. Although your city, county, or state government may have certain restriction preventing such ventures you should always consult an attorney specializing in zoning and real estate law about your proposed business.

Hey Moham, I've noticed that you have questions on commercial properties?  Are you a landlord or do you provide services in the commercial sector?  Can you email me at mopandoria@gmail.com so we can discuss your position and what you're looking for, esp. in the commercial property questions you posted.\n\nThanks\nMo

Yes, it's okay.  You just need a paper trail.  The rental business needs to make sure they use their tax id when purchasing.  This eliminates the sales tax for the purpose of resale.  That resale can either be retail or rental.

This depends on the area you are doing business in. Every state has different regulations and many cities and counties have different requirements also. \n\nWhere are you staring your business?

First,Check with your City Zoning department to see if it is zoned for Commercial use. If so, look for comparable commercial property sales near your area.\nBest person to talk to about this, is an experienced  commercial Realtor. If you don't know one,you can ask for a referral through the "Board of Realtors" in your County,  \n\nLearner

You need a permit to sell anything on a commercial scale.

Ask a hotdog vendor, maybe they'll tell you.\nI think you can do big business if you get a permit in a prime location, like downtown in the business/entertainment areas.

Yes, with the permission of your local zoning board you can convert your single building into two properties, similar to converting your two stores to condominiums, or cooperative retail space.\n\nPresently, the common usage is the water, but after conversion the common areas will be many such as the roof, foundation, exterior walls just to name a few.  You will want both owners to pay regularly for upkeep and maintenance, and there will need to be an adequate reserve fund in case repairs are necessary.  \n\nYou must seek a commercial real estate attorney's advice on this.  He can help you decide on the type of ownership that is best for you.  If you convert your building, a separate entity, a Condo or Coop Association, is created to define and safeguard the legal rights of both owners.  Large office buildings "go coop or condo", but usually the cost of converting is too expensive for converting one building into only 2 stores.\n\nYour attorney may suggest less expensive alternatives.  He will go over the benefits you receive and problems you take on by splitting the ownership.  And help you answer the question of what happens when you decide to sell the property to which you are keeping title.  \n\nPerhaps a long term lease is a better idea and makes more financial sense.  Another idea is to take on a partner in ownership who will have certain financial responsibilities in exchange for a share of the ownership.  You can also sell the entire property, and lease back the one store you want with the right to sublet it.

It depends on how many and how much of a thing and under what circumstances they are to be sold.  Will it be a once in awhile Garage Sale, or a Retail Store.  Unless selling your personal property becomes a business you can sell w/o a Business Permit  or a Resale tax I.D. number.  On the other hand, if you had Yard Sales every weekend for a year you would have a business, and the above mentioned documents would be needed.

I have rented commercial space and there are some questions that you need to answer for your self:\n1.  What is my budget for this space?\n2. Does my budget include renovating the space to meet my business needs?\n3. What will be the cost of related insurance for the property? What will be the cost of any business license?\n4. Where is the location of my target customer? \n5.  How is my target customer going to reach me? (transportation to site)\n6.  Do I need a road frontage location for visibility or could a strip mall space accommodate my needs?\n7. What size space is the maximum and minimum I could live with?\n8.  Is there an opportunity to lease-option the site, so that if (no when) I get my business going well, I could consider purchasing the real estate?\n9.  When you find a site: who are your neighbors?\n\nGood luck with your business.  I am not a Realtor, but a mortgage lender in 38 states.  Please e-mail me if you need a referral in your area or would consider purchasing a commercial space and have questions.

It's when a firm, by being there, is good for others.  A commercial building might increase the value of the residential buildings around it because it's more convenient to have a close-by place to shop.

well, generally they lease commercial buildings (defined period with contract) not rent, and your local realtor can help you with this since lots of major realty companies list these "commercial lease buildings".\n\nif you were looking to buy an ongoing business, such as a spa or beauty salon, then your best bet is to start in the major newspaper's classifieds "businesses for sale" section.  There are also a few firms that specialize in buying and selling of businesses only, but i don't know where you are, nor can i recall any names at the moment.  try searching for " sell your business" on the net, maybe you'll get some compnanies that specialize in that.  good luck!

nope, as an owner you can build anything you want to with a permit of course, as long as it is built to code.

You'll need to give more information, particularily your location since state/local regulations vary substantially.  Plus, you'll have to deal with zoning rules for your locality.

Sure...but to be sure that your business thrives add a drive thru liquor window for 40oz on the go and possibly a BBQ shack right next to that.

Pick the city of your choice, contact a local real estate agency for commercial properties, tell them you need a shop sized location  in the suburbs/housing area.\n3 out of 5 ppl have pets, so you can estimate how many potential customers youd be having in that location and you can estimate if you can cover the expenses.

Not if you have a clause that states when I could sell the property.  If not, where is the property located
