Hello,I recently cancelled a purchase contract we had in place on a mobile home park due to some environmental issues we found during the due diligence phase.  

The environmental companies just love this program.

From contacts at other firms, to contractors, title companies, property managers, and legal or environmental teams that might work with sellers, staying in touch can prove beneficial.3.

Ratios, cost per sf, equipment, who maintains what, market movements, zoning compliance, environmental impacts ... 

I currently own an environmental company, but I'm looking to diversify and real estate has long been a passion of mine. 

You're stuck with costly environmental cleanup if you get one of these.

Hassan,Vacant Gas Stations = tough sell for environmental reasons.

I might be on to something :-)I’m just curious about what would be involved in developing the site—things like environmental impact studies, human-derived biohazard containment, storm water management, below grade engineering studies and stuff like that.

A little more about myself - I studied Environmental Engineering in college, but currently work to help commercial office buildings get LEED and/or ENERGY STAR certified (mostly large, class A in Chicago, but also smaller/suburban and across the United States).

Things like zoning restrictions, easements, protected wetlands, tree requirements, phase 1 & 2 environmental inspections, etc., can all greatly affect the value of land.
