I have tried looking into other ISP's, but most of them (Spectrum, CenturyLink, T-Mobile, Verizon) don't even service my property yet because we don't have fiber laid yet. 

Look for proximity to Tier 1 providers (AT&T, Lumen, Verizon).Map out “dark fiber routes” — some counties and old industrial parks are sitting right on them.Location EconomicsLow energy cost = higher margins.Best states (so far): Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio, Utah, and Missouri.Bonus: tax incentives in data-center-friendly states like Virginia or Nevada.Design & ConversionFocus on “powered shells”: basic infrastructure (cooling, power, racks).Partner with small hosting providers or mining companies to lease in bulk.Financing OptionsSBA 504 loans (only ~10% down if you own the operating company).DSCR or asset-based financing once the first lease is in place.Incentives: some states give credits for energy-efficient retrofits or tech infrastructure.📈 The Business Model (in simple terms)Phase 1: Buy an older warehouse <$1M.Phase 2: Invest ~$150k–$250k in power upgrades, HVAC, and security.Phase 3: Lease out racks or entire rooms to tech tenants.Phase 4: Refinance at the new appraised value (cap rate compression = wealth).Done right, a single small facility can net $40k–$70k/month, while the property value triples.🧭 My Next StepI’m currently analyzing a few markets (Dallas–Fort Worth, Huntsville AL, and Columbus OH) and talking to brokers about properties under $1M that already have decent power access.I’d love to hear from anyone who has:Invested in industrial-to-data-center conversionsWorked with colocation or mining tenantsExperience with utility upgrades or zoning for high-power facilitiesQuestion for the community:If you were starting from scratch in this space — what would you focus on first?

@Hamzah Awnallah - We make use of a Verizon Hotspot at our vacant rentals, to which we then connect solar cameras obtained from Amazon.com.

Popular brand Locations that have left me are Dunkin, Verizon, Famous Daves, Remax, Citibank, and Metro PCS.  

I have reported them to the FCC multiple times (I am on the national do not call registry), blocked and reported each and every call on Verizon call filter.

I have an exisiting cell tower rooftop easement agreement with a wireless cell agent that sub-leases the space to Verizon. 

Brands such as Verizon, Dunkin Donuts, Famous Dave's etc, but luckily I could backfill the property within a reasonable amount of time because the location had high traffic counts along with population density.

Visible is part of Verizon and has unlimited data for $20/mo. 

Verizon is like $35/mo and Spectrum is well over $100 now.

Bitcoin, by market cap, is now bigger than Netflix, Disney, Nike, Bank of America, Coke, Verizon, PayPal, and Comcast.
