The Proano Commercial Group is pleased to present a compelling investment opportunity at 5701 W. Roosevelt Road in Cicero, Illinois. This turnkey 18-unit mixed-use property features two commercial storefronts and sixteen residential apartments, including a mix of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. The building is 90% renovated, enjoys high occupancy, and is efficiently operated with separate utilities and individual furnaces. Situated just one mile from I-290 and approximately nine miles from downtown Chicago, the asset sits on a prime corner lot and includes an adjacent vacant parcel, offering a unique opportunity for future development or additional income streams.
What sets this offering apart is the newly available seller financing, structured to provide buyers with maximum flexibility and immediate financial benefit. Under the current terms, a qualified buyer can acquire the property with just a 20% down payment and secure financing at 5.75% interest-only for 24 months, with no prepayment penalty. This structure offers a projected 12.72% cash-on-cash return during the interest-only period, giving investors the advantage of enhanced monthly cash flow and reduced upfront capital requirements. The absence of a prepayment penalty adds further strategic flexibility, allowing the buyer to refinance, reposition, or exit at any time without financial constraints.
Located just one mile from I-290 and approximately 9 miles southwest of downtown Chicago, this prime corner site sits at the intersection of Roosevelt Road and 57th Avenue in Cicero. The property fronts Roosevelt Road, a major two-lane east/west thoroughfare, with a public alley to the south. The immediate area features a diverse mix of commercial and mixed-use buildings, apartment complexes, and single-family homes—particularly along 57th Avenue.
