I know nothing of renting office space. Is this a good deal? Ofc, need to go see the space. 
Discussion
Whether that’s a great price is totally dependent on the market, location, and condition of the building. A recent roof leak raises a red flag for me. Use case is really important.
They said they replaced the roof recently so will definitely verify.
Location is Main St. Berryville, VA
Would be office/co-working space. Bitcoin focused, ideally.
Alternative: buy Bitcoin with the money you would be paying in rent --> buy a space with the bitcoin in 3+ years???
🤔
That’s a super small town. Do you think it could support a co-working space? Also it’s near DC would people be more inclined to go to co-working places in the city? I’m not familiar with Virginia laws specifically. Every real estate market is a little different and has their own norms. Speaking to someone local is your best bet. A few things that come up for me are the roof issue. Whether being space heater dependent would be an issue with rental insurance. It raises fire risk. If it’s an old building on Main Street ask about wiring particularly for your case. Also find out about lease term and what would happen if your business failed and you needed to end the lease early. Commercial leases are frequently set up where you pay the entire lease term no matter what.

I’m specifically trying to avoid DC (for several reasons) but be close enough to lure bitcoiner adjacent and within to come to the mountains and build.
Probably pushing a stone uphill…
Have you thought about doing pop ups first? Start building before signing a lease.
Would definitely ask about the roof leak. It’s easy to cover up by replacing tiles but gotta see if they fixed the actual problem in the roof.
They allegedly did. Will verify. 🫡
