If you can't, just proceed without them until you find a great one.In short, I think you have 'analysis paralysis' and think you should just start.Actually... now that I said that I do have to criticize your list a bit.First, as someone said earlier, establish what your goals are.Second, pick a market.

In the future, I think you could go about giving this type criticism in a better way versus making me feel incompetent.

It’s critical to hear that in order to know why it’s not selling.If it was me, I’d look into making it a rental and refinance it as such ASAP.

@Adam Hale based on those numbers the 1% rule applies so it seems alright, but there are other factors you have not mentioned that are critical. 

My schedule is starting to wane a bit My project is out of the critical  stage or I may just take the dang day off for a change. 

Just bail....cash for keys.....I wouldn't be surprised if 75%+ of bad tenant "endings" don't go down as a legal recorded evictionHe lied....knew he had an eviction....he didn't forget it.....he lied about a subject that is very critical in the screening process.If he had told you 'hey I had an eviction 14 years ago, but here are my last 3 landlords contacts so you can call for references" then I may let it slide once I check his storySo unless this guy is a superstar in every other screening category, ....AND my tenant pool is otherwise junk.....I would 100% pass.....

I'm open to criticism and I dont frighten easily.

The key to gaining their attention is to spend some time learning and come prepared with well-thought out questions.Specialization is critical in commercial real estate.

This should give a lot of potential investors something to think about, as it could completely revitalize the neighborhood.Alderman Arena, in my opinion, has great intentions for the neighborhood but has deserved some criticism, especially in how he's handled the development of the 5150 N Northwest Hwy project.

Critical element is to ensure you are not getting over leveraged.
