You need an attorney to review your methods and madness before you hit the streets and understand that you need to perform.

@Josh Reynolds I've offered 500 to local mailmen/women, UPS drivers and fed ex drivers . there the ones on the dead end streets and areas that aren't out in the open.

There is another franklin street in the city so they probably got the zip codes mixed up.

You do NOT want to be showing up on the wrong street, at the wrong time in those neighborhoods.

After about a year of slowly renovating (doing any work we could do ourselves) we noticed property value in the area was rising. 100k+, 140k+ homes were now on the market, and these homes didn't have what we do: a corner lot, garage and a safe family friendly park across the street.

As far as 'good' resale, you probably to stay east of Kedzie avenue (between Kedzie and Pulaski) and south of 95th street (between 95th-103rd street).

Nate,We offer some properties at 7.5 to start but you are right, pretty tight on NNN single-tenant commercial returns, but better than anything Wall Street and banks are offering. 

Street that fully complies with city spec, curb gutter, side walks, off site improvements of city frontage, to name the big ticket items.  

Feel free to PM me the street and I will give you my humble opinion.
