IE don't want to invest in a city that is dying.. but its still bottom line your talking about a rental.. and unless rents rise significantly  ( which they don't in any mid west market) or values rise significantly ( which they will in some of these hot little pockets of redevelopment in even most of the big cities of the US.. that's whats important those macro numbers of house holds and cost of living that's all just white noise.. people live there they are going to rent for what they rent for and that's about it..the most money is made on areas that are transforming..

I can transform any room for $9-$10 and a few hours of podcast listening time! 

There are many stores that were online only but now are adding in physical stores (Amazon included) which should tell people brick and mortar is not going away just transforming and updating like any industry across the board in the United States as times change.Dollar Stores typically have a size of about 10,000 to 12,000 sq ft and pay about 8 to 10 bucks a foot in rent for freestanding unless location is stellar and then I have seen sometimes up to 14 or so a foot in most markets.

The house has really transformed into something I can be proud of!

If at all possible, I would absolutely open all three of the second floor windows, it creates a nice balance and provides interior light.What the building lacks is a residential, attractive and welcoming entry, which will completely transform it without spending a fortune.A few questions... does the front property line extend to where the grass strip ends at the alley?
