Buying and selling as parking use, isn't hugely profitable.Check for environmental, zoning, security, etc.

As a landlord, I am committed to improving my rental property while also being environmentally conscious.

As we consider investment opportunities, especially ones where the potential off taker could be institutional (keep in mind that nearly 20% of even SFR is investment property) the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) mandates that are being both driven by large PE and institutional funding and now even the SEC will weigh in on the values of portfolios of properties going forward.   

Lots of banks pass due to sensitivity to environmental issues or the specific use type nature of the building.

They will never be as financially conscious as I would be, but then hopefully they are savvy about the work that needs to be truly done!

Inspections are different, environmental is more important, no reps about buildability, etc.

Be conscious: If you sell your property, that's a gnarly capital gains tax.

@Chris HamrickI saw "buying an auto repair shop" in the title and I wanted to add when purchasing commercial properties make sure to get a phase 1 environmental report...especially when you know there have been occupants that could have polluted the land; auto repair, dry cleaner etc.

Issues like zoning and environmental restrictions can make a tremendous difference.

Yes I'm aware that I need to be conscious of the relevance of some of the info I may find here being mainly US content and members and I'll watch for that - thanks.
