As a former baseball player myself (pac-10, well 12 now), I know the commitment it takes to be successful there...

Plumber said, "I've cleared up a lot of clogs, but this one wins the prize."

Would I win if I fought this in court?  

. :) So that's a win/win.

The South Side already has some TK players who are moving inventory but not as fast as you would think

There are contaminants from other properties that can move down the road and contaminate your property.It's not just about oil tanks as their are multiple types of contaminants.IF you buy a property "AS-IS" and you do not perform your "DUE DILIGENCE" then the odds of you winning in court against the seller after the sale are very, very low.The reason is the judge will ask you the owner ( buyer ) WHY you didn't inspect on your own.

See if they will lease option you the property and create a win/win situation.  

Data that trends one way may mean future boom times (or a future all-Pro player) in one case, but a hot mess in another.I don't mean to poo-poo the discussion, I have strong opinions on the effects of quantitative easing, the willingness of banks to engage in certain types of lending such as mortgages, the regulations and backing of such lending, and data/examples that have led me to those conclusions and love to debate them with knowledgeable folks like here on BP!

Of course, it's fuel for defense attorneys to rake in a ton of money claiming they can win your case, chasing a delusion.

Major league baseball players make throwing and catching a baseball easy too, Tom!
