We know he’s busy but he would love to show you around some properties. It’ll be fun, we’ll go out on Saturday. Meet at Starbucks first, make a day of it. According to Whitehouse.gov, the federal government is the largest property owner in the U.S., and there’s a bunch of space they no longer need. The government has set up a website, complete with a slick map that shows you where available properties are up for sale. The spaces seem to be everything under the sun – there’s a 49 sq. ft. property in Big Bend, LA, which I can only guess is a broom closet, but there’s also a 14,944 sq. ft building in Hackensack, NJ?
