Great video Tyler, good content lately. I own a co-working space that I renovated, we don't have any private offices and it was a big mistake. Hard to operate when renting by the desk.

This model is great, a lot of people are looking for small private spaces.

I’ve literally never seen an abandoned car wash. Car washes are fantastic businesses. Maybe it’s different where you live but where I live this would be turning some of the best possible real estate into some of the absolute worst

Don't yell at a Nole please lol but this is a great idea. We have too many car washes up here in Tallahassee.

I find it confusing that he was cut up about a $7, 000 plumbing bill but didn’t bat an eye when the renovation budget ballooned from $100, 000-$300, 000.

Is anyone else asking how in the world a commercial car wash is not already tied into the public water and sewer systems?

[helloson]

How much did u purchase and what cost for upgrade

[ttopero]

I’m curious if anyone has done similar with motor motels, leaving some as residential with others as micro retail spaces?

[sixcentsmedia]

How bad was the temptation to just go wild on those poles? Epic montage missed.

[sabby]

7k to tie into the city sewer system! If the units across the parking lot were allready tied in. Could you not of tied into that
