It would be environmentally insane not to build more housing near transportation hubs that could get the workers to these new jobs without adding tons of traffic to our streets.

My UG was at Butler University where I got my BS in Environmental Studies.

@Tim Marshall,When I hear dirt floor and working on cars, my biggest concern is the environmental issues you might run into in the future.

I know most people look at this as a $ issue/problem/situation but it's also a very serious environmental problem.

Environmental reports, physical inspections, contract negotiations, loan negotiations, lease audit, etc.  

I paid a real estate lawyer provide one for me but it was over 14 pages long and included numerous sections for commercial, land, and environmental reporting.

I've seen people get their best deals with structural damage for example (though I still usually avoid those).But environmental/toxic stuff I'd probably try to stay away from.

The permit and environmental process can potentially be a nightmare. 

I am interested in creating a sustainable development of land in the North East of Brazil as an investment for myself, but also as a way of protecting these territories from aggressive other foreign companies who are coming in just wanting to turn a profit at any environmental and social cost.

They often sell good stuff to people like me that already knows them or other buyers and sell the scraps to newbies that do not know better and buy the dogs.At very least you need a good commercial retail attorney to do the lease.Biggest thing with industrial is possible environmental contamination and if per the lease they are on the hook for it.Basically there are tons of things to look out for and you need help.
