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.

The life of that base can be expanded by making it more water and chemical proof.All that being said, I'm not sure I'd charge the tenant for it.

Phase I: An assessment and report prepared by a professional environmental consultant who reviews the property, both land and improvements, to ascertain the presence or potential presence of environmental hazards at the property, such as underground water contamination, PCB's, abandoned disposal of paints and other chemicals, asbestos, and a wide range of other potentially damaging materials.

Also be aware of any chemical hazards, such as the remnants of a meth lab or leaking oil/chemicals in the soil.

Pumps, plumbing, filters, chemicals, etc.
