Buy now while properties here are still affordable and hold on for a huge return as the neighborhood transforms. Bordering the Tri Taylor corridor. Comparable 3 flats (east of California) here are closing at record high numbers, and new mixed-use and Medical District projects are drawing demand. This property has a full walkout basement, enclosed rear porch, parking slab and classic Greystone facade. After a complete gut rehab, similar 3bed units cashflow and resale upside is enormous. Sold strictly as-is-there are known code violations and deferred maintenance, so buyers must perform their own due diligence..
