I've been looking for office spaces the past few weeks and it's been very difficult to find a decent 500 - 1000 SF suite that isn't in some creepy old building or office park. It's really hard for me to understand because it seems like there are empty buildings and "For Lease" signs everywhere where I live, but when I call the agent they either tell me it's not available, it's in shell condition and requires a personal guarantee, 6 months buildout, and a 7 year term agreement, or it has some crazy layout that would be way to expensive to tear down and rebuild for a new business. I guess they expect to do business mostly with the large health systems or people who already have established cash flows, and they don't really care about a solo practice making < $1M in revenues... It makes sense, and I'll keep looking... just discouraged by the lack of nice, clean, not-outdated office spaces available for small businesses at the moment):
