I was involved in commercial open yard space property during the nineties. Rather than post my thoughts on the subject of 'open storage property' (an interesting type of real estate, that given the correct circumstances, it does have a niche of its own... personally not my preference except under very specific circumstances...) and by doing so, running the risk of being accused of posting a dissertation as to the positives and negatives of such venture... -g- I will, instead, direct you to this site, which might give you some ideas as to 'what to do next'.... loopnet.com The following are its relevant data...
