The area that appears recently excavated is very large (size of a house).Now, I will have to excavate and perform environmental clean-up, testing etc., and also disclose it when I sell.I would think that this is illegal.  

Also if there is a lot of mold or other environmental issues.Many small banks and credit unions will offer renovation loans to allow you to fix up a distressed property.      

In the case of an environmental issue, they can go back after the ENTIRE chain of title. 

Also you might have environmental issues.Might be best to sell off and let someone else deal with the mess.No legal advice.

These being previous tax liens and IRS tax liens if the IRS was noticed property during the foreclosure.What isn't eliminated are most other government liens -- municipal fines, environmental liens, taxes after your lien, etc.Check with your state statutes--every state is different and some allow for more liens that could be on par with the tax lien (ie condo and hoa dues in some states).

I was part of the class of '12 myself, Environmental Studies.As far as real estate goes, what are your short-term goals?

Alex is a graduate of the University of Arizona, where he received a B.A. in Health and Environmental Science.Alex is well-respected in Tucson for his high ethical standards, honesty, and professionalism.

It should list the environmentals (HVAC), Electrical, Stove / Range / Oven, Plumbing, Water Heater, Sewer / Septic System and the Roof.That may tell you what's not obvious from the pictures.Hope this helps...

(a health, environmental, public nuisance and waste, liability among others issues,)Even if the lease doesn't directly disallow a business from R-1 there will be in contract something addressing tenant's responsibility to protect the landlord property , not creating waste, commit public nuisance, or damage.I would have no problem to a good, responsible tenant for use the residence address for ex. handyman or plumber since he does not physically conduct his business from the home, and all his tools might be in his truck or rented storage, but I still would make sure that I am not being liable for loss, damage to his tools...and request he has a rental insurance, compliance with city regulations.Conducting online seminars is not the same as doing a hair extension, or running car repairs shop from R-1.  

And that should apply only to countries that have environmental and human rights laws similar to ours.
