I am concerned with filling a vacancy right out of the gate as we head into the winter months here in Michigan or should the time of the year not be of concern?

@Charley Gates, welcome to the note world!

This space could easily be cleaned up, partitioned off, and used for a business in need of this special industrial zoning for their long-term operations or even simply adding a gate, a little more fencing, lighting, and 20-30 storage sheds/containers that could be rented out for $200+/mo each.

I have security doors and a locking gate.

Then he complained that he needed to go through the gate every time he comes and goes from the condo.  

Electricity for lights, secured to the containers(to save $), video camera surveillance,  fence (although some places I've seen have no fence, I've noticed) and electric gate, signs, the containers themselves.

They get a code and use that code to enter the electronic gates.

I can always grow faster once I have a full plan in place that works, but I don't want to set myself back right out of the gate.  

To switch in the middle of a transaction is unethical and you don't want to ruin your reputation as an agent right out of the gate.
