Stop in for a cup of coffee

I just went out and looked at space. Buddy has a contractor business in a huge building, fenced, lights, nice part of town. At one end he has 3500 sq feet attached with its own access. Heating, cooling, security, $500 a month...cash. Can put the truck and trailer in it and find someone with a large boat or RV to split it with me.
there's an old gas station along the old state highway that I inquired about buying. be a sweet hotrod shop. Has a show room from its days as a motorcycle dealer and a 40x80 pole barn that is climate controled.. Was closed by the state years ago due to failing to pay sales taxes over many years. State finally took the property. However, they wont sell it for less than the 1.8 MILLION the dude owed in tax revenue... It's gone to auction many times over the last 15 years, highest anyone has ever bid is 50,000. It's appraised for 68,000. But the state refused to let it go. They'd rather it sit and rot. They put the full 1.8 mil as the reserve.
