Many investors run into issues with raising capital due to errors from years ago, particularly issues that effect their credit, so the question is do tradelines work to enhance your credit to the cream of the crop and qualify you for the best terms and rates for your fix and flips and buy and holds?

@Elijah FastYour lender and possible your insurer will require a Phase 1 assessment .... this is predominately a visual inspection and paper exercise (costing anywhere from $750 - $2500) with the objective of discovering any potential contamination of the property (or demonstrating that there is none).An abandoned underground storage tank (UST) is something which should be disclosed by the vendor (it appears that it has been in this instance), but it is an example of the sorts of things a Phase 1 ESA looks to discover.Depending on the results of the Phase 1, you may very well be requested to continue with a Phase II ESA.Having a Phase 1 lets you know what you are walking into ... which is why lenders want them.
