... and while you are caulking the window, clean the weeping/drain holes in the window frame (if it has them) and have a look above the window on the outside and see if water is getting in there.

I wish you a TON of SUCCESS in 2014 @Corey Wogtech - BLOCK THAT SHOT!!!!

Also, I'm wondering if people have thoughts about the benefit of owning the units as a block from a wholesaling perspective, or from a buy and hold position, etc.

There is what you MIGHT call a sump hole, but may just be a drain.

If the nicer houses on a block are selling for $50k in a war zone, why would you buy the lot and build a $100k house on it?

I grew up in a fishing community and when I was a kid everyone dumped their garbage over the rail ... many drained old engine oil in shaft alley and pumped it out with the bilge water.

I would rather deal with a slow drain while my husband is mowing then get called while out to dinner a few weeks later.

I own property on 6000 block of may in Englewood, and a bunch around Escanaba in South Chicago.

We've been able to re-post everyday still by throwing code in our ad (even though they block it).

We could jump online and look up some values but much of that is block-by-block.
