yeah, thats a bunch more than "just a couple counties over". i'm looking with the guys I was splitting the shop with, we're budgeting $.40/sq ft/month. Cant afford much more than that. Weve got one place right now that looks promising. Its not anything I would pick out if I haad the time, but its the only thing open right now that will work

Am still kicking in my six car body shop for the last 38 years. One thing I found is that whatever situation pops up it ends for the best. Why?
Because self employed people have what it takes.Just follow your thoughts and you will survive. Best of luck and God Bless.

It's a great idea if you come out ahead after demolition (including asbestos abatement/environmental costs): permit fees (including systems development fees, e.g. traffic impact, schools, parks, etc.); costs of construction and financing charges/interest. You may happily be in a jurisdiction that doesn't hose you like the Peoples Republic of Portland in Oregon on the left coast but you'll still want to look into the fees they'll extract from you for the change of occupancy type.

I just bid a dental office build-out that's changing around 1500 sq ft from office to dental/medical office and the SDC's in Portland were $25,300.00 and another $10,000+ for the actual permit fees.

Good luck, but watch out for the government.

probably right scook, it's never easy as it sounds.

that's the reason existing property has gone up so much. lotta stuff getting grandfathered in. ADA facilities, retention ponds, larger setbacks,landscaping codes, etc.
