After much due diligence and related research of the local county environmental regulations, I discovered that I would’ve had to remove/dispose of the underground storage tanks, perform soils testing, perform leakage cleanup, etc.It added an extra $30K to my costs and dropped my potential profit so much that it fell below my acceptance.
