If you ever have any MF properties 2-80 units we'd love to take a look to acquire, and if you guys are ever in need of property management services we'd love to take a look and see if we would be a good fit for you and your properties.

Let's talk and see if we're a good fit to work together.

If you are someone with a track record and are looking at transaction sizes that fit the profile of the check sizes these companies facilitate you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss them. 

We are purchasing 1.39 acres of land and plan to utilize a workforce housing ordinance through the county to reduce the required lot size to fit more houses onto the land. 

@Henry Lazerow  The neighborhoods of Chicago don't fit nicely into an A to F class system. 

its horrible. no one answers the phone. they promise an easy refund if the lead never answers after 21 days, if the number is wrong/ doesn't ring/ among other reasons you can find in their refund policy.however, they will deny you when you try and get your refund. i had one lead where the number doesn't even ring, and another where the person never answered within the timeframe. they denied my request for a refund, although it completely fit their refund policy. i believe less than 8% of refunds requested are ever refunded. horrible experience.

They are not generally near a retail center-point so I'd be curious who a potential solid backfill would be, especially to your point, given the size and physical attributes of buildings themselves.
