I know most people look at this as a $ issue/problem/situation but it's also a very serious environmental problem.

@Justin Elliott, I would say I was always money-conscious, I think it really started to sink in when I got my first part-time job as a camp counselor.

When it comes to the balloon payment, I have heard more negative than positive about it, so I am a bit conscious about it. 

If you can really consciously "truly SEE" the how and why, you suddenly "wake up" and you get shocked when you suddenly see how crazy stupid all these methods floating around are.

Environmental reports, physical inspections, contract negotiations, loan negotiations, lease audit, etc.  

I paid a real estate lawyer provide one for me but it was over 14 pages long and included numerous sections for commercial, land, and environmental reporting.

I've seen people get their best deals with structural damage for example (though I still usually avoid those).But environmental/toxic stuff I'd probably try to stay away from.

The permit and environmental process can potentially be a nightmare. 

I am interested in creating a sustainable development of land in the North East of Brazil as an investment for myself, but also as a way of protecting these territories from aggressive other foreign companies who are coming in just wanting to turn a profit at any environmental and social cost.

Real estate investor: My goal for 2022 is definitely to keep acquiring multi-family properties when I can, but after growing to my now 51 units, I am trying to be more conscious of my current portfolio and how to maximize its potential, but as well would like to implement better systems and processes to make it a lot less work than it currently is.
