I guess that's what the current owner pays in insurance kinda kills the deal a bit. Maybe because it's commercial it's higher then normal.
I worry about the store front if the current tenant moves or gos out of business it could be vaccant a long time. It's a grocery store and walmarts not far so idk how it stay in business.
I'm really leaning on continuing to save money and wait
