Hello,I am interested on thoughts about the current real estate market in Peoria and East Peoria.

The property features two 1,400 sq ft suites on the main level (one currently leased) and over 3,000 sq ft on the upper level, with 750 sq ft already occupied, 3 small office spaces (+/- 250 sq ft each), and a basement tenant with 1,400 sq ft of storage space.The building generates $6,000 in monthly gross income from its five tenants, but with full occupancy and market-rate rents, it has the potential to bring in $10,000+ per month.Given its historical significance, stunning architectural details, and location, I’m curious about your opinion: Would this property be more marketable for sale with or without the current tenants?

If you ever decide to list those properties for sale on the open market, you know who to call.

You're in a market where property values could be very high 10+ years from now.
