Advice on home

Semis spend 99% of their life outside. The cover may be helpful for a mechanic. A racing team may find it more appealing. You can advertise in their publications if you are near things. NHRA, etc.

 

It all depends on where the house is located and how many truck drivers with their own trucks live in your part of the country. If you are in the middle of nowhere, I doubt if the garage will be much of an asset as far as appealing to drivers, but if you are in fairly close proximity to a metro area then marketing the house to drivers could help a lot.

 

That area is 99% ag industry. Unless you have some land to go with it probably not that big an asset.

 

You will probably understand that insurance on the building will be a problem if the truck's DEF should burn the place down for example and that third party owner wants his payment in full for it. (Combined with you counter suing for the burnt building)

Property taxes are probably the other reason (Besides it being in Illinois which is truly suffering from a exodus across the board)

A true trucker who is busy and making money might park there maybe 40 days of the year. It would not be worth the constant outflow of money.

 

is it just a pole barn or is it insulated concrete floors ect. good electrical service gas heated water floor drains ect. as just a shed, the outbuilding isn't worth that much. i guess it depends what kind of value you are trying to put on the building

 

the other problem being a little under an acre of land most people that would have use for that large of a building are going to want more land. small ma pa trucking company with 5 trucks. needs enough real estate to turn trucks around drop a trailer outside ect. im looking to build a similar size building but i want it to be on atleast 5-10 acers
