The properties second unit has its own entrance, ideal for a dentist office, professional office, podcast studio, or other business ideas. The second unit does need work, but offers tremendous potential for additional income or expansion. A versatile, high-traffic commercial property with multiple revenue streams, including gaming, ready for its next owner. There is also city TIF funds the new owner can apply to make improvements or bigger projects to help further grow your business.
