@David Friedman there are generally a few brokerages in each market that heavily deal in the restaurant space, it would likely be good to get on their radar, and to @Evan Polaski 's point, having your data/features on hand to "pitch" the site is likely a good call.Other items to note would be just to understand if the current configurations of the retail spaces could be reconfigured for a restaurant, things like grease traps, larger water lines, patio requirements may all be things they are looking for.  

Are you working with a Realtor® or a contractor, both can likely solve your problem as the agent will have access to more data and knowledge of how to run comps, the contractor will be able to give you a better idea of repair costs.

You will need to create a full data deck on the property you own and what the 3-year appreciation, cap upside, etc has done for you.

There are many arguments against annual rent increases, like turn over cost and the time and effort resulting from it - while you are working a W2 job.Just got some interesting data. 65% of all ladlords in Milwaukee own only 1-2 units.
