Hello everybody, Kevin here. Sorry I've been a little quiet lately, enjoying life and managing my existing properties but it's time to start another. Here is Contractor Garage 9. Stay tuned for updates over the next year as we build our newest project.

@ProTradeGarages Hey "contractor garage guy", please note that Contractor Garage is trademarked, by me. Please use your brand to promote your buildings not mine. If you would like to pay to legally use my brand we make it affordable. See my website, which I'm sure you've already visited.

@EdwardmaherRE Hi Edward, we only develop in our own market that we're comfortable in but if you or a buyer does move forward with that please don't hesitate to reach out for some affordable consulting and branding. We'd love to have a Contractor Garage brand partner in your market.

Would you like to spend the weekend learning how to develop a contractor garage of your own by the guy who coined and trademarked Contractor Garage 15 years ago? You're in luck! Join Kevin Combs who will personally lead a seminar April 25-26th in Kansas City to discuss all things large-bay storage. Day 1 will be in a comfortable private room at a brewery and day 2 will include property tours. Visit our website for more information and to sign up. 🍻 https://t.co/mOqsc2omdu

@ChristianHaley_ @ChrisRamsey60 Yes i do. My garage 5 is a flex space with retail visibility. See https://t.co/ilr7BE1PPT then go to garage 5. I have one on the back building coming available April 1. 20x55 for $1500/mo. Wide open with a bathroom. Rear loading and separate front storefront 🍻

Coming from the guy who coined and trademarked Contractor Garage and has been building them for 14 years, yes you're so correct. Terrible tenants. A bitch to manage. Crappy buildings. No one wants to rent them, high vacancy. Terrible ROI. You should stay out of the business. 🤪

@matsorensen @elonmusk while you're cleaning house can you shut down this #BOIR reporting BS? Government inefficiency and unnecessary burden on business at its finest.

[The Real Contractor Garage Guy @ContractorGarag]

@ChristianHaley_ Ah that explains a few things. I'll email you guys my friend Travis's info.

[The Real Contractor Garage Guy @ContractorGarag]

I may grab one. That's close to my brewery, Brew Lab. Probably a better profit margin and easier to reach the customer if you sell off website as well. I have a friend that does e-commerce packing and shipping in their warehouse at 159th and mahaffie (high plains prospecting). I would be happy to set you up for a tour to see how they do it.

@ChrisGoals $30k 😬

Gate is installed. Why did we install one anyway? With Contractor Garages they really aren't necessary unless there is outside storage. If a criminal wants in bad enough they will get in by cutting the chain or power so it's really a false sense of security but what it does do is stop the criminals casing at night and make it a little harder on them so they don't just pull in and pull out with a trailer. Probably worth the effort, though not 100% required.

@iamnot_elon Flat tax is the only fair tax

@MrLGroves Welcome to the water tank club. I used one exactly like it to water new grass

[The Real Contractor Garage Guy @ContractorGarag]

@ChristianHaley_ Do you have a website yet to browse and buy?

[The Real Contractor Garage Guy @ContractorGarag]

@Eloc96 @ChrisRamsey60 Actually after thinking about it, that would be the case in my market. In your cold weather market you might not be able to keep concrete whole and a trip to the bathroom could give you frostbite... so yeah you probably know what you're doing. 🍻

[The Real Contractor Garage Guy @ContractorGarag]

@ChrisRamsey60
"I see a lot contractor garages and flex space built without bathrooms. Big mistake."

WRONG Chris!

A CG should be at a lower price point for the new business getting on their feet. They don't want to spend more $/mo for a bathroom taking up space in their unit. A community restroom is fine and it lowers your unit rent cost. A flex should have a bathroom. These guys are more established with a bigger budget and employees to house. Please come to one of my seminars so you can understand the difference.

[The Real Contractor Garage Guy @ContractorGarag]

@Eloc96 @ChrisRamsey60 You have a house cleaner clean the restroom. Easy to manage. If I were your tenant i would prefer to have money spent on concrete in front of my door and not have the bathroom. 😉🤷‍♂️

[The Real Contractor Garage Guy @ContractorGarag]

Correct, that's what a Contractor Garage is. A storage unit that is bigger and more usable than mini storage but cheaper with fewer bells and whistles than flex with the bathroom, hvac, and storefront. It bridges the two. Different products at different price points for different tenants. It is a subtle but important detail to understand the difference.

[The Real Contractor Garage Guy @ContractorGarag]

@ChristianHaley_ @clayhepler O hi christian! We put that property you're in under the CG umbrella but it's more of an incubator studio vs our typical garage. Looks good though!
