However we have clients who have tax liens, gas and oil rights, llamas, trees, etc. think of working within an investment group or real estate group to gain knowledge and experience. 

Considering more in Calgary since property took a hit with the oil dive.

Boeing decamped for Charelston there was a bunch of land there to build the new facility and good work force and right to work state.. not to mention its one heck of a tourist destination.. tons of collages the Citidel.. so on and so forth.So I then went to a long time GC family friend of ours that live in Vegas at the time but he spent many years at Hilton head.. great wind surfer..

@Mike Hartzog  correct... in our world 2nds simply did not happen all first trust deed or mortgage lending and all collateral assignments of said.now my facility at Umpqua 4 million.. they would not actually record the assignment they just held it and we gave them an alonge'  they would only record if they were going after the asset.Riverview and Columiba community were I had the same facilities only larger they recorded everything so the transaction was a little more cumbersomeand of course we had to close the loan with our own cash then back fill.. much like a conventional lender who does table fundings then sells in the secondary market.. but once the machine was up and running it went well but it took staff to run.. that's for sure.

Tainted water in flint, oil spill on the coast, massive fire in Sonoma, earthquakes, floods, etc.

Hoping to get some opinions on a deal I'm looking at.I have some land under contract to build a large commercial facility. 

You could also get someone who uses it like a storage facility. 

I also had a neighbor that got whacked from his "Big Oil Company" job at 53 in one of the general downsizings in 89 or 90.

Are there any common facilities (water, septic, road, etc.), or common property that the homeowners or developer will need to manage.

I have google mapped over and over facilities in my area and it always comes up looking like a great investment.
