They publish a listing to clients every week.

Either that Or build a sickening work ethic and search everything on the topic on the web, cross reference, throw out the bull but take the good.

As a “lovely added bonus” NY state requires all new LLCs to publish a public notice upon their creation in two newspapers that are distributed within the County in which your business’s principal office is located.

If the strip mall is in the same county as Springfield, Il then you may want to check out the interactive mapping applications published by your local GIS department.  

I understand the elected officials are corrupt, the taxes are fairly high, the city has a good deal of murders occurring on a daily basis but in my experience I have found that most of the information published online and talked about on the news channels seem to be a few months behind what is actually happening on the ground.This interests me because I am a real estate agent currently in the Washington DC area and the Chicago market at this current time is similar to Washington DC in the mid-2000's before it went gangbusters and everyone was buying up places in the "nicer" parts of the city.What eventually happened was investors moved out of the safe zones and moved into the hood, the most surprising neighborhood being Trinidad, Trinidad was so bad the police blocked off the neighborhood and made you present ID at checkpoints to get into the neighborhood, true story. 5 short years later people are spending 800k on four level renovated rowhomes that are walking distance to shops and restaurants.I understand the Chicago economy is not held up by the government like the Washington DC market is, but, all the realtor blogs I've read over the last two weeks seem to indicate that certain neighborhoods are "hot" and homes are selling quickly (Avondale, Portage Park, Humboldt Park, Bucktown, Wicker Park...etc), is this still the case?

You can A spend hours and hours on the web watching hour and a half long videos, be clueless of where to go, get sold a training that costs 5k plus (for information that you can learn on the web for free if you look hard enough, bigger pockets,crinoline, youtube, google, reitipster, ..the list goes on forever.

We are especially cautious with respect to such transactions on a web forum where there is a tendency for folks to interpret as they wish rather than seek professional advice. 

I'm in the process of revamping my web site.
