This town has a population of 5,000 people. Its directly downtown. brand new 2 bed 1 bath on third floor/3 offices on 2nd story/3 offices on 1st story. Only 2 are occupied. Owners are looking to get rid of it and be done with it. They had great tenants in the past but the one tenant that was taking up a majority of the building went and bought a place close by. Since the place has been open. Considering developing a cowork space down stairs to get creative and draw some attention. Offices need central air, or do they? Is this necessary? Is it risky buying a commercial place like this if its not currently rented? I know how to market very well and believe with some creativity I can make this place a desired place. The brand new third story apartment will rent fast. Please keep in mind I am BRAND new to this. Im a  realtor in NJ but im trying to learn commercial real estate. Here are the numbers I have ran. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
