I don’t know anything about running gas stations but if you do, I recommend getting extensive insurance coverage for environmental land contamination. 

Our focus has been on creating high-quality, cash-flowing properties designed for investors looking for solid returns.While we primarily concentrate on vertical development, we’ve also started exploring horizontal development in certain projects as we continue to expand our footprint.

Look for cracks in the foundation, walls, or ceilings, as these may suggest settling or shifting.Additionally, keep an eye out for pest infestations, particularly termites or carpenter ants, which can cause significant damage to wooden structures.Lastly, be aware of environmental concerns such as radon levels and underground oil tanks, which can pose health risks.Having a qualified home inspector conduct a thorough evaluation is essential.

Most significant are environmental issues centering around past or present leakage of petroleum products into the ground. 

Most people outside the profession don’t understand the time and capital it takes to make a project come to fruition.Before a single piece of equipment touches the ground, there are years of government meetings, environmental and site assessments, engineering studies, etc.Each step requires significant time, effort, and capital investment.But when done right, it creates a ton of value and transforms communities, which is why I love it.

Lower electric bill, carbon foot print, blah blah blah. what's not to love.BUT I'm in Florida, not sure about you.

States are large and the footprint of these centers is TINY by comparison.

And last but not least any environmental issues can be a big hassle.

Most times, the due diligence period is used for you to bring out your inspector to physically test the property (environmental, structural, roof, etc.) 

I also invest lend on deals within my footprint.
