Inland Real Estate Brokerage & Auctions, Inc. announced today the upcoming auction of multiple income-producing investment properties located in Chicago and Northwest Indiana during an auction event on March 23.

Properties up for auction include an operating express car wash/detail center located on Route 30 in Valparaiso, Indiana, to be sold by order of the U.S. District Court.

With our auction programs, the businesses and real estate can be marketed and sold in as little as 45 days.”
