One of the recent 'touches' we are going to add since we have the equipment at our 'day job' is to laminate the front and back covers and use a binding machine (total cost about $150 for them) instead of just stapling things. 

Justifying that it is my office and stores tools and equipment used in rental business.

Seems to me it could be profitable and fairly passive investment in a market like mine where there are many businesses out there that need a shop and a place to store their equipment. 

We’re packing up most of our clothing and valuables, but leaving the place furnished along with kitchen/cooking equipment. 

I've been in account selling for some time not real estate but capital equipment, and yes it is different but building a rapport and finding connection with a seller trumps coaxing them into sign the contract as fast as possible.

They are a completely separate Asset Class (Equipment) vs Building/Improvements. 

Someone asked to rent from me and was up front about having maxed out credit cards (they said to pay for family business start-up equipment) but never missing a payment.

Visit quarterly to check filters to preserve your equipment and write that in your lease.

I just started my Inc. not a shelf corp and they already wanted to give me an Equipment financing loan- My personal credit is good but not great (low 700).

I was a bit shocked by this report, as I had expected with the increased price of corn and farmers scrambling to get higher yields, farm equipment purchases would be through the roof.
