The gist is certain properties are deemed contaminated by the EPA (or an environmental report) and the government has programs that will clean them up for you as a way to prevent the sites from sitting unused.

This indicates a sensitivity to outdoor storage, but is not a significant change to any procedures.All site plans, engineering, approvals, environmentals, feasibility, etc.. are part of the due diligence.

But I would also be conscious of how the other partners are funding their equity contribution.  

- Any recommendations for property managers that are quality and cost conscious?

I am consciously not a real estate investor because I want to work with real estate investors.

I also hope to personally invest in some deals in the near future.Our company, Lafser & Associates (lafser.com), provides consulting and services for real estate developers including project management, historic tax credit consulting, environmental abatement, energy tax credits, and more.

So far, I have found no programs that a MF development qualifies for and our only benefit is reducing environmental impact, offsetting utility costs with PV.  

The state's progressive policies and environmental initiatives are notable, along with its diverse population and iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge.Exploring the potential of five vibrant California neighborhoods: Hacienda Heights, Chino Hills, Lake Forest, Pasadena, and Los Angeles.These hidden gems boast distinctive features, a strong sense of community, and a bright outlook for the future.

There are also environmental factors to consider as well.
