We will land at roughly 26k in materials for this project… a 14’x26’ garage.

But the rents for the area are driven by these factors.

Also, in terms of flooring for the storefront what material would be best in terms of money and quality? 

You may pay a bit more and make a little less, but playing the long term game is key in real estate.The types of structures could be lump sum (one price) or cost plus (meaning you pay the cost of material and labor plus a flat fee—more of an open-book model).I see some investors who want to pay for ALL the materials, which is excellent for the investor (more control of finishes & cost) and general contractor (if they are getting paid well).  

This shift is driven by consumers seeking affordable meal options amidst rising inflation.

I'd need to go to about 250K with 10/15K in materials to get around 320K and that's pushing it.

Talk to your agent and don't try to hide material facts about what you're planning to do. 

Examples would be incorrect square footage, incorrect year built, incorrect style of home or materials.  

You also talk about Woodford Reserve, the grounds are beautiful and the brass pot stills are amazing.

The neighbor told us she taught pole dancing in one of the rooms & the guy who bought the home from us found the solid brass pole in the basement & the ceiling header & floor base firmly attached in one of the upper 6 bedrooms.
