Great list @Ky Sharp If you are confident in your analysis and buying all cash the appraisal/bpo isn't necessary but an appraisal may help you negotiate if it comes in low.We like to have two or three mgt companies walk the property during due diligence and propose their mgt plan that includes a capex and/or repositioning budget.If the subject property and all properties nearby are the only things ever built on the land there you may not need a phase 1 environmental but if it's a large property and/or you're bringing in outside capital (lenders or equity partners/investors) having one demonstrates your thoroughness and professionalism even if one is not required.If there isn't a recent survey one it may be required but if one is not required getting a new one falls under the same considerations as above.We have gone to always having an engineer do the inspection even though it can be 2x what a non-engineer inspector may charge.

(National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems ) this permit last five years from when it was issued, so if you are past that!

I don't trust his opinion over a single environmental research scientist.Also, I find it hard to believe that the majority of the scientific community (except for a small faction of Scientists who are continually recycled through Fox News and YouTube documentaries)Many of these scientists are that are featured work for Washington think tanks funded by Exxon mobile....The Biggest Company on Earth....several such as Dr.
