Took my eye of the ball and diverted my attention to my business.

If there is anyone out there dealing with contaminated site issues (heating oil tanks, junk/salvage yards, auto recycling yards, etc.) or other environmental issues am happy to be a resource if it is within my wheelhouse.This has been a very scary process to leave my good job and transition to a business owner. 

Paid 58K + around 10K for fixing it ( no finance- used my own hard saved cash)Now, the question is, whats the best route to "recycle" my own money and have funds for a second deal?

Unlike a laundromat, they can use recycled water and are therefore very difficult to audit.

It may cost a little more in holding costs, but then you shouldn't have any trouble getting a mortgage with a traditional bank, and can recycle that cash faster. 

First off, I'm not entirely comfortable with the developer doing this as they are working on my roof and constructing a cricket that diverts all the water onto my roof. 

I've been a passive follower of BP for several months and ready to take this relationship to the "next level".My current interests are in:- balancing risk/return within certain RE cycles- uncovering great deals- creating/unlocking value in properties- learning from others' successes and failures- being a responsible landlordThank you for accepting me.  

I think when I've used the term 'earth' home or 'bermed' home, lenders envision it being made out of either recycled materials or earth.

I'd have to check my bill for the total costs because Minneapolis includes waste and recycling on the same bill.

The key is to recycle your "seed" money, and never spend it.
