“I know what I’m looking for if that answers your question.”
Nick smiled and slipped what might soon be my key in the lock before pushing the glass door open.
I stepped inside and inhaled the smell of new carpets and fresh dry wall.
“It is nice that it’s new,” he said.
“Smells it anyway,” I said, looking around. It was a much bigger space than the other one which was good and bad. I found limitation was often good when decisions needed to be made, but the additional floor space gave me more flexibility in terms of growth and layout. Plus, if I went with this spot, I probably wouldn’t have to move for a good ten years.
“So I was thinking-” Nick said, crossing in front of me.
“Yeah.”
“About the space on the other side of this wall,” he said, putting his hand on the wall by the door.
“I’m listening.”
“Well, I know we were initially thinking it would be ideal for storage until you were ready to expand.”
“Go on.”
“But it does have its own front door to the plaza.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Well, rather than have it look like there’s no one home next door, you might consider sub leasing the place to someone else temporarily.”
I stuck out my bottom lip and nodded.
“Cause this location is in high demand. I’m sure it would get snapped right up.”
“And I could use the money to help me pay off this place.”
“Exactly.”
“What do you think I could get for it?”
“Enough to make this place comparably priced with the other one.”
“I like your thinking Nick.”
“And then when you’re ready to expand, you just kick your neighbor out.”
“Or politely ask them to leave.”
“That’s up to you.”
I smiled. “I think that’s a great idea.” I walked across the room and opened the door beside Nick and through it. The smaller section of the property was tiled from wall to wall, and while it was much narrower than the other room, it was still nice and bright.
“Does this place have its own plumbing?”
Nick looked around and then down at his notes. “It does. It’s not hooked up to anything at the minute, but for a price you can fill the place with water if you want.”
I nodded. “I think I’m ready to make my decision.”
“I was going to let you sleep on it.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
