If you are new to the business just get in your car and drive the market. Learn the buildings- take down the names of the tenants in them, heck get out of your car and go into a few- talk to the owners and employees. You'll star noticing trends and types of tenants specific to your marketplace. This I promise will be way more valuable than just setting up a database.  Sure you need that too, but the real work gets done in the market, not behind the computer building a database (that's what CoStar if for).  :)\n\nAll the best- Tiffany", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ek31j15", "text": "Manufacturing companies, car shops, breweries, sometimes schools or churches. So many different businesses use industrial or flex spaces. Good luck and welcome to the business! ", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
