I finally understood why my dad's old warehouse in Akron was such a headache to sell

Last month, I was dealing with a stubborn wasp nest under a client's deck and it hit me. The problem wasn't just the nest, it was the whole rotted wood structure it was attached to. That made me think about my dad's old 12,000 sq ft industrial building we sold three years ago. We spent months trying to sell it as a 'turnkey' space, but every buyer backed out after the inspection. The real issue was the outdated electrical system, not the price or location. We should have just paid the $40k to upgrade it first. Anyone else have a property where fixing one big flaw first would have made the whole deal smoother?

Honestly, we had the same thing with an old roof on a commercial spot. Just replacing it first saved us a ton of hassle later.

Totally get that, @wendy_murphy16. We redid the plumbing first.
