(iii) Trash disposal, pest control services, property management, security services, and the costs of any environmental inspections.

Hi there,i'm interested in a small and older apartment building. I've approached the owners to talk about the property, he has indicated that there is an oil tank on the property. Hopefully some people with experience...

March is very wet here.After a Jan roof leak in the garage he requested a remediation company and a environmental hygienist.I did not hire a remediation company . 

The last time it was for one of my other business (computer software) - I partnered with a local college and helped some of their students get to a conference related to their subject, it made for a nice 'community conscious' angle, and got picked up by some local papers.

Opportunities to send referrals to people you know should be something you consciously seek out.

I just wanted to get an idea from some other people as to how open the communication is within your neighborhood and hoa.I live in a community with 382 people and my hoa actually makes a conscious effort to limit the correspondance to the community.

For example, insurance doesn't usually cover lead paint, mold, asbestos, and other environmental factors.Should I use the cash flow for more investments?

In my experience when meters have been installed the master water and sewer bill is reduced by 30-40% as your residents become conscious about the amount of water going through the faucets.

A lender runs the numbers and realize the investment is solid and they will provide 70% of the purchase price.Now you run inspections, appraisals, legal fees, environmental reports....etc...etc and incur 100k in costs in due diligence.You still need to tie up an equity partner/investor for the remaining 30%.Would you be asking the investors for 300k (the 30% on the $1M purchase) or would you want to ask the investors to cover the 30% + the "load" 100k?

Maybe it would be based on renewable energy and environmental interests.
