It really depends on the area. Is it around a lot of traffic? If so maybe not so bad. I was looking in Athens before and it was crazy high for a small building on the out skirts of town. You will pay for location but you will profit from having a good location. Got to think about what you can afford and if the business will be there. I couldn't see loosing all my benefits and the known income or I would have already done this. Good luck with whatever you do.

its not in the middle of a town, but its right off of a busy highway... and its on about a 5 mile cut through between two busy highways...
since i live in huntsville, this is a little far off for me...but im just lookin and this is the first one i found that i like...

thanks for all the input...any more would be appreciated...

I would think around Madison. Very busy , and all the high school kids will be banging down the door with daddy's money. Anywhere near hwy. 72 in Madison would be great. There is a lot of business to be had in this area if you do it right. You would have to cater to both hardcore and mall crawlers.

very good point...however...madison comes with a price...

was thinkin about highway 53 just north of huntsville...

wanna try to get away from city codes...

I understand, Hwy 53 wouldn't be that bad. And I looked there as well. There is an older shop by a gas station north of Jeff Rd. It was an oil change place and now it says Hwy 53 Customs . Don't know what it is going to be yet. But the building was 1600.00 a month when I checked into it. There is some metal buildings south of Jeff Rd. You might get one of those at a better price. I will keep my eyes open for you. I drive that road every day.
