Its always seems like as soon as you do phase 1 they find something that makes you jump up to the next phase so just be ready to pay more money.I have done a couple of these and I think they are a huge waste of money, but the lender I used required it.One them they said a liquid substance was on the parking lot and unable to determine what it is so they required more money and then when they returned it ended up being a dried up puddle of water. 10k later to tell me its water.Second one I did was by a railroad track and they made me go the full blown process because they found some coal on the property.  10k later they said it could be coal that fell of a passing railroad car.
