I own quite a few smaller multifamily investments in this town but have never purchased a larger plot of land like this so i'm  looking more in to what I can do with it (build other single family homes, storage, smaller multifamily?) 

Move all your stuff into storage (furniture, clothes, knick-knacks etc.)2.

The storage room is too big and needs to be fire rated, unless you put up a wall making it less than 100 sq ft, then you are ok, OR, you can reconnect the washer/dryer and now it's a laundry room and is ok.

I want to concert my owner occupied 17,000 sq feet 2 story warehouse to Co-sharing office & self storage.

Pouring fresh concrete on old damaged concrete.

Given that tax season is upon us, the sting of California income tax is still fresh on my mind.

Offer to let them out of their lease and start fresh.

This is a sad situation, I'd look for a no kill shelter if possible, hopefully it would be similar to the storage requirement for other property.

Does anyone have any experience with shipping container storage facilities?

Basements are common in the Midwest and preferred by tenants for the extra storage space, cooler temps during the summer months and extra living space if partially finished.Cast-in-place concrete basement walls are preferred over block walls.
