Owner occupying, 3.5-5% is widely available. 

More than many other bay area cities, the cap rates of offering varies widely for different parts of the city. 

My angle would be to offer a few months of free rent, one year below market rent ($12/ ft) and then gradually step it up market rate ($16/ ft).

Is there some outlet that collects and resells wide planks the buyer didn’t want to keep?

Purchase price: $87,500 Cash invested: $40,000 4000 sq ft of wide open space on Main Street. 2500 sq ft open in front, two large garage bays in the middle and office space and bathroom in the back.

We use a standard lease from a local printer (Wisconsin Legal Blanks) that is widely used here in and also very detailed. 

The loft also has a big bathroom with angled ceilings.
