Yeah the seller finance route and conventional refinance out if there is sufficient equity will be a good route to take amongst many others.

If the landlord has sufficient evidence otherwise it may not be needed though.

The fact that the building has a "Special Use" limits its functionality if there is not sufficient storage demand in the area relative to the supply.
