Denver Fire is really making things hard around town and just don't seem to understand how the financial impact & timing of having to install fire suppression systems can really kill a great project.Good luck, I'm going to try to do a drive by of your project. 

Most of us are in our late twenties or early thirties and realizing that we don't have the savings or risk appetite to do anything on our own, but all of us have a little bit stashed away that we'd like to put to better work.  

They're going to need a certain water tap size and electrical requirements, fire suppression etc which will all hinge on whether they're a brew only,  a tasting room, a restaurant, size of their tanks, etc. the beauty of commercial is that the tenant takes on the burden of build out like that... of course the landlord pays by giving them rent credits.

The payments may be amortized out over 15, 20 or 25 years, but make no mistake - if the mortgagee has no appetite to continue financing that asset, you are out.  

I will say, it’s not for everyone and everyone has to gauge their appetite for risk. 

The state of Texas is better than most, but all governmental agencies will never limit their spending appetites.

We are also ensuring prices in the neighborhood aren't suppressed due to a RE "run."

Now, I can do a lot of things with the space, however, as it is dry, has a loading dock, is at least temperature controlled (might be climate controlled as the building has been used for document storage for a decade), and has a dry fire suppression system installed and working.

How do health concerns affect everyone else's appetite for acquisitions?

Again, this depends on your risk appetite.
