Aquiring Space

[Clem1640]

We've been without School support for a couple of years and we have been able to find local companies with unused space who are willing to donate this space for a time. Of course, you need to track these opportunities down and you need to ask. We have found local realtors willing to help with this.

Such space is generally temporary (up for sale or lease). You need to keep the space presentable while there. You also need to be prepared to relocate quickly when the need arises. We had to move between Christmas and New Years at the end of last year. Not such an easy trick, but we pulled it off.

To be able to utilize donated space, you will need to be insured. You will probably need to cover utility costs if the property is idle. This can become serious money.

None of this is easy, but we've had the benefit of having some awesome build sites over the past three years.
