We are going to discuss, in this article, a creative way to rent industrial space without paying a premium cost, namely by renting a garage for rent. Many people have a mental block when they hear the word “garage.” They think of a place where lawnmowers and rusted out Chevys are stored, but they should, instead, be thinking mini-warehouses, because that is, in fact, what they are.
Consider this: several of the major corporations in the United States began in garages, including Microsoft and Hewett-Packard. If a garage was good enough for Bill Gates, you might want to give it a thought.
So, in this article, we will discuss some of the keys in finding the right garage for rent properties for your business needs. We are RDS Real Estate, serving the Greater Fort Worth area. We invite you to call us at 817-439-3224 if you are in need of a garage for rent or any other industrial property for rent.
Location
If the industrial space you need will be visited by clients/customers, location becomes very important. If customers will not be visiting your place of business, location becomes much less important.
Remember, location oftentimes drives up the leasing price. Sit down and determine how important location is for your business or, if this garage is simply going to be a storage space for your business inventory/excess, is location important at all?
Our suggestion: give some thought to the expansion of your city. What will be the next hot spot for industrial growth in your area? Try to grab up a garage for rent in that area, before it becomes the hot spot. That way you pay at a discount for property which will soon experience substantial growth.
Sufficient power/utilities/internet
What will you be using that garage for? How much electrical power do you need? Do you need a large water supply? How about internet access? And what will you pay for the utilities/power, internet you need for your business? It would do no good to find a good leasing price on a garage for rent, for your internet start-up, if that garage for rent had horrible internet access.
Space needs vs budget
How much space do you need AND how much space are you going to need when your business expands? This is something we constantly tell our clients: plan for the future! If your goal is to be successful, the industrial space you need today is not the industrial space you will need in five years, and moving a business inventory is a major pain in the patoote.
Look at your operational budget and find the most industrial space for that price. You will be happy you did in five years when your business is booming.
