So, the first thing is to identify the highest and best use, not so much what the property is zoned for or even the zoning of adjacent properties might be.Just standing at the road it may be obvious what the property should be used for, seeing the lay of the land and how it relates to the surrounding properties.

Proximity to the airport (less than 30 minute drive would be ideal).

You can fly your private jet right into Riverside airport and pick me up on your way to Maui. ;) 

I actually considered retiring there and using it as a cheap base for traveling but don't get me started on the poor state of CVG airport! 

There are lots where septic systems don't "perc", the one adjacent to my old home did not.

The challenge with stoves, dishwashers, refrigerators and cabinets is that the doors and drawers must be able to open without bumping / interfering with whatever is adjacent.

There are 2 other parcel numbers adjacent to our lot need to be annexed to Naperville proper before ours can be annexed. 

History shows a good % of tenants have financial difficulties and managing to collect rents is intensive.2) The $1M 6% complex is adjacent to a bustling area with upscale shops and restaurants, highbrow cultural activities, and is a magnet for the cities growing high-tech workforce.

Don't even see it because they were hit so hard and haven't noticed the jobs, downtown building, Big events, airport restoration and modernization, occupancy rates, sports teams building state of they art stadiums etc.  

I get a kick out of traveling through the airport in my Hogs shirt and having someone randomly yell that out.
