Quote from @Sri Reddy: I am a newbie to real estate investing and looking for guidance from the teams here to understand the sources from where we can find any small retail spaces to buy.

I was chatting with some of my lending buddies at big banks and they are all backing away from the CRE space including office because operating costs are increasing more quickly than rents.

Was wondering if I could turn one of my spaces into an assisted living multi-tenant facility as it’s in a great area for it and can be changed with a reasonable rehab.

I also want to purchase and repurpose unused spaces around various metro areas myself someday and I figured what a great way learn by helping someone else succeed.

I'm also considering a separate living room space or maybe some kind of artist studio.

Quote from @Bob Avery: I don't recommend leaving a space blank because someone could later attempt to add something in.

Unfortunately, the previous owners used the same lease for this garage space as they used for the residential units. 

And will never find out because the open-space advocates won their measure while the developers measure failed by a whopping 63%!
