It might be too remote, and the customers for that area might want to patron shopping centers more conveniently.Also, how many potential buyers have stepped in just to preview the property?

You might have to sit outside for a few hours at different times and estimate business volume based on patrons entering.

Do you want Will to patronize me and tell me what a great post I made when he disagrees with something?

OP, great thread, and funny @ Aaron think he was just patronizing you in a fun way.

I've helped many churches find storefront space and it can be tough because churches are not attractive from a retail standpoint (if Landlord X has to choose between a church or a UPS store, they'll probably put in the ups since it will be less likely to default, have significant revenue for percentage rents, and attract clients who will patronize other the other businesses of that strip mallWhile I can't give you anything more definitive, I hope that helps.

Nice to see another Indy patron on here.

-Speak slower and clearer (not in a patronizing way, but some people speak faster than others and when it's a second language it is harder to process.)

Easy to learn in the sense that those that patron this sight are looking to learn, share and establish relationships.

A rooming house works well when near a university as you can furnish them and cater to international students - but when your clientele are affordable housing patrons, you stand to have far more drama and administration than you care.If it is the property I found on MLS, the listing indicates the owner has carried out decades worth of renovations without permits.  

After initially typing two paragraphs of a response that was so fundamental that it seemed patronizing, I started to question the validity of the question posed in the first place.
