I have a unique perspective on this question as I was a landlord for 8 years. In fact I used to own the building my original shop was in. I know what it’s like to own commercial property as well as rent it. In this video I talk about the pros and cos of owning vs renting your shop space.

Here is a link to the video that got this conversation started.
