What major US cities have inexpensive commercial Real Estate? (sales, properties, brokers)

[vacuumbed]

Say I wanted to open a dance club in a major city. What's a good way to see which large city would have commercial real estate prospects for this?

Thanks in advance.

You would first want to visit different major cities and decide which ones have people that would be good for the type of club your going to open.

That said....... no major city has inexpensive commercial real estate.

Other than Detroit and similar depressed inner-city areas, an inexpensive dance club location in a major city may be a contradiction. You will likely need to be a clean, well-lit, easy access location with secure parking ... where women feel safe going at night. Relatively speaking, that is likely to be more expensive than areas without these things ... where your crowds and profit will be restricted. With these things, you will likely attract larger, more profitable crowds, but, will pay more for the property.

.... I was thinking you initially said you were seeking 'inexpensive'. Apart from that, you can probably provide a detailed list of requirements to commercial property brokers in cities that seem acceptable to you. The internet a plethora of property sales sites for almost every area.

It depends what you mean by major city. If you mean LA or NYC, then no. If you mean places in middle America with cheap rent, they maybe,

If you look outside of a city where people would drive 20 minutes to go to a club than it is possible.

I know that in Pompano which is outside of Fort Lauderdale there are several vacant properties that are large and have large parking such as old car dealerships on Route 1, and in Oakland Park FL, there is an old art and craft store which is huge and has a huge lot and I would think you could work out deals since they have been closed for so long and are not making money.

Loopnet is the website where many commercial brokers list their property. You can look there.

If your goal is cheap, then you need to rethink your business plan. Your business plan should be profit which is based on economic conditions, demographics, and costs.

Philadelphia has plenty of commercial space. Unfortunately, city is not really business friendly.

There is a lot of great information here by all, thank you everyone. I found another site like loopnet called cityfeet.com

It depends on different states and their rules, I don't think they have any real estate, commercial prospects for every state but yes, it can be possible in large cities.
