CHemical dumps come to mind first.....good luck, Bill

Apparently the vacant lot next door used to be a Martinizing dry cleaners and the chemicals had penetrated the soil.

We tell them at the time they sign the lease that we control the sprinkler system and we pay for the lawn chemical/fertilizer program.

I am a recent graduate with a degree in chemical science.

I have read that is really difficult to know just how much defective drywall is out there because many American and other countries as well used Chinese chemicals during the exploring real state market in the early 2000s.

where there any issues as to the chemicals they use?

If you're property is over 50 years old there is a greater chance of lead based paint and/or other environmentally hazard based chemicals in the house.

Unfortunately, most of what I can offer is only sweat equity as I am not very skilled in any obviously beneficial way for real estate investing.I currently work full time for a chemical company in Irving, TX as a regulatory affairs specialist for those of you interested in what I do for a living currently.

Industrial is commercial, it's "dirty commercial" but certainly can be financed and Jon is on target. 15 to 20 year, 3 to 5 pop, adjustable rate, no ceiling and probably best would be 3% over banks prime at 70% LTV, is my guess.Those fees Jon spoke of, well your fees could be much more depending on what class of industrial you're speaking of, if it's heavy industrial, oil drums, chemical processing, refinery operations, junk yards....you're going to have a tuff time at 60% LTV.

A lot of people keep chemicals under the sink.
