Industrial Real Estate on market - Ideas for short-term cash?
I have an ecomm business that I've been running with my dad for the last 12 years.  We have 14K SF industrial warehouse near Chicago and it's oversized for what we need now.  We have the property on the market now, but it's slowed since rates have started to rise.  I'm thinking there must be some way to utilize the space we have available, but not sure best way to market it or rates to charge.  We have pallet racks and general storage available, should I charge for a section of the warehouse?  Should I charge per pallet stored?  Any idea how much that should be?

I figure there must be people that need access to storage, but wondering if there might be pitfalls.  Property has loading dock, overhead door, and ability to receive/ship merchandise via LTL.
