I have two primary questions for investors in the St Michael, Hanover or Minneapolis areas:1) What is the temperature of the market there?

I’m curious if you guys have any comments or suggestions on investing in warehouses.

I do agree that it is a huge risk and not for the faint of heart which is why I’m taking a temperature on here of whether experienced investors feel I would simply be taking a risk which requires certain considerations and precautions or about to do something completely stupid.

Get the smart/remote devices and put a lock on them for a certain time/temperature.

I am not big on regular office because in down cycles people go to running the office out of their home or move to cheaper warehouse space for rent per sq ft.You could put the property under contract with a long due diligence if seller will allow it for little to no non-refundable earnest money.

The temperature that night got down to 0 degrees farenheit.

What you could do is have it set to a particular temperature with a lock box over the thermostat.  

To the OP, I would also check where local builders get their material then get 3-5 quotes (not estimates) from HD Supply, Lowe's QSP, and local contractor warehouses. 

I realize people have different temperature sensitivities, but still. 

You can start off with national companies like, Renter's Warehouse.
