a single tenant above and lease the bays to a (ie: mechanic, pump repair, etc. ) or a owner of a new business looking to 'live the dream' .
commercial pays higher rates on a 'cheaper' building for possibly longer but may be empty longer.
at least then on the plus side it would be a heated space for my crap too.
With the way property taxes are going on commercial properties it's getting more and more difficult. Everywhere is different but some areas of the province it gets ridiculous. Calgary for example is 5X the residential rate.
