I am about to open escrow on a commercial property (warehouse and offices located in southern California) in which the current tenant is keeping a pit bull dog. 

Thinking about building some Flex Warehouse space.  

Couple thoughts:1) Rent a spot in warehouse-type building with bay doors and "store" your RV in it along with your tools etc. most of them have a bathroom and it's easy to plumb in a shower or connect your RV plumbing to it.

It never occurred to me that I would have to pay for the replacement, but the tenants are now asking if I could pay, because it might have been caused by, according to them, an act of god (temperature).

I bet there are lots of warehouse owners who are letting rents slide around the Long Beach area right now due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the trade wars.

Temperatures this past winter caused the pipes to burst resulting to water bill around $1,500.

I just bought some of the crushed office REIT stocks.In my mind housing, industrial/distribution/warehouse, and storage are probably going to be alright.

The issue is many of these lenders use warehouse lines or credit lines to fund loans.

(Lake Shasta, Whiskeytown Lake, Sacramento River) From "Best Places: July is the hottest month for Redding with an average high temperature of 96.9°, which ranks it as warmer than most places in California.

He did most of his own maintenance and he said dealing with the boiler was a pain in the rear - from not only maintenance but constant calls from tenants unhappy with the water temperature.
