Fun fact about myself, I recently made a conscious decision to stop my career as a drug dealer after 1 year and decided to fully apply myself to real estate.

Issues like zoning, and environmental concerns can have a dramatic effect on what can be done with the land.Then you have to asses whether there is demand for the best purpose of that land.

Talk to Michael Deaton at Deaton Investment Real Estate, and my commercial inspection company, WBTreece Consultants, would be happy to help with any property inspection needs (environmental, structural, capital expenditures, upfitting).Thanks!

Sorry for the novel; I tend to be very flow-of-consciousness in my writing, and I guess in life, in general.

Make the seller pay for it if they do not have a recent phase one especially if you think there is environmental issues.If you pay for it with a lender make sure you are added to the report for protections down the line.

Hi Mike- I used to work for Heritage Environmental in Toledo as project manager...what specialty contractor do you work for?

That takes into consideration Zoning, environmental issues and demand for that type of property.

What amount of research could you do if you took the commission you’re willing to pay an agent and used it to find the deals yourself..As a Broker I cannot in good conscious tell a seller the offer made at 65% is one they should accept especially after I told them how much the house is worth to begin with.

DWQ, Army Corp or any other environmental requirements or permits. 

And in the case of a Jiffy Lube, you may have major environmental issues to deal with after they leave.
