Thanks for the replies, everyone, I’ll give Jack a call next week.
SK, I’m looking primarily for a place to store an RV, trailers, desert toys, race cars, etc, and set up some metalworking and welding equipment. I own two residential rental properties already, so for this I’m mostly thinking of it as a place to park some capital, get use of the space, and hopefully make a few bucks when I sell it in 10 or 15 years.
I did poke around on Loopnet and it seems like most of the properties are in O’Side or Otay, and many of those are commercial condos. Dunno how the commercial condo world works but my gut feeling is that I’d rather go fee simple if I can find such a place. It seems like there’s loads of appropriately funky properties along Main St. in National City but those sorts of properties do not show up in loopnet.
I’m reasonably familiar with how things work in the residential RE world but I have no clue how the commercial side works, which is why I wanted to talk to someone who specializes in this stuff, first to see if I can even do this, and secondly to hopefully find a suitable property.
