Environmental Due Diligence With Trustee's Sales

[Nic DeAngelo]

Hi BP Nation!

It's been a while. I hope you are all doing well :)

I work with a company that buys mid to large size commercial properties at trustee's sales across California. Because we have so many deals that are coming down the pipeline, and because a very small percentage of deals make it through the strict criteria we have, and even fewer go to sale, we can't get a full report for each property we're researching.

Are there any online resources for historical environmental issues with properties or any possibly hazardous additions like new underground tanks etc? Are there any that would cover Industrial, Retail, Apartments, and Office? Any others you would recommend?

I've been using GeoTracker (which is a great resource by the way!) but it is limited primarily to water issues.

I searched the forums and blogs and found limited information on this subject, and with the specific guidelines of due diligence for a Trustee's Sale, I haven't found anything applicable.

Thanks :) Any help appreciated!!
