Sorry to see you get so many downvotes on your reply to my question. I know you're a regular in this sub & hope you can get some useful intel.

I don't have any specific advice about rents / math to make that kind of investment work, or not.

I've lived a few blocks north of Communipaw near West Side for many years. My little pocket of the neighborhood has always felt very safe. I'm not on the streets south of Communipaw every day, but my take is it's more block-by-block: some good spots with folks looking out for each other; some spots with drug deals & shady stuff going on.

My guess is that over the next 10+ years there will be more investment in properties within walking distance of the West Side light rail station. The place you're looking to buy isn't super close to Bayfront - but businesses all along Westside should get a boost from that development.
