Please PM me to get the ball rolling if there's a need.

I am planning to make some low ball cash offers to see if I can pick up anything good.

Go ahead and low-ball people.  

If these spaces are above a wood or metal framed floor level then the temperature difference will not be noticeable.Personally, I really prefer stained, sealed concrete floors as they provide a rich texture to the existing concrete that you really have a hard time achieving with flooring and it wears better than any other material.Chad Conrad

,@Bob Bowling had a great quote about us CA investors complaining every time another $100K equity gain decreased our return on equity b/c rents didn't go up as quickly. lolI don't have a crystal ball any more than you do.

You know about the dog, the ball is in your court.

I'm also in Canton and want to connect with more investors in Cherokee County who are doing deals in Cherokee County (Canton, Woodstock, Ball Ground, Waleska, Holly Springs) and nearby areas (Cobb County: Marietta, Kennesaw, North Fulton County: Alpharetta, Roswell, Forsyth County: Cumming, Bartow County: Cartersville, and Pickens County: Jasper).

Low ball offers?

There are some good operators who make a lot of money but the vast majority do not.If it's a brewery and your distributing to other users that's probably a different ball game and you don't need retail space.
