Thanks Rich, I was planning on hitting up a local REIA group will check them out- thanks for the lead.I've skimped on the full details of my experience base, I also worked a summer in school with a commercial general contractor, that was early in adulthood and I knew nothing but learned so much.I'm very comfortable with my knowledge of design and construction, most importantly knowing that there is so much left to learn.I'm looking forward to working on projects where I am actually the client, designer builder and project manager, and then being a fair landlord is actually such a powerful motivator.I personally believe there is a service element to real estate investment if done a certain way, providing needed housing that is built to a standard really helps people.

Bringing old places back to life is one of the most satisfying elements of the job for me :)

I have the first 2 years free(dad works there) and planning to major in environmental science.

In short, you should focus on major electrical, plumbing, foundational, structural, or environmental factors only if you want your best bet of negotiating down the price.

Any objections based on the economic environmental or the individuals portfolio makeup or risk tolerance I tell them I’m not a financial planner, financial advisor, or wealth manager,; I’m a real estate specialist.

There is lots of environmentally concerned buyers.

With industrial or properties involving hazardous materials (gas stations, medical offices) is the risk of environmental contamination usually covered by insurance (which the tenant would be paying for)?  

You'll save way more money by buying a place that doesnt gave environmental issues.

The number looks interesting and has many value-add elements.

But, the larger issue is this:An exit out of an asset is a synergy of 3 elements.
