Imagine if those issues are environmental, which is another problem altogether, and won't be covered by title insurance.Either way, taking on someone's problems without knowing what they are is not my idea of a inexpensive investment.

Any environmental concerns with any tenant, like a paint store or hobby shop, dry cleaners, pawn shop or print shop?

A little about me: I have a BS in Civil engineering and an MS in Environmental engineering.

Hi all,I'm seeking advice on how to structure a specific element on an LLC my wife are a part of with 2 other partners.

Property with bad environmental issues.

Hi Everyone, I am on the verge of venturing into the world of specialist rehabbing- where I wont just be rehabbing for the sake of a rehab but with special goals like Environmentally friendly rehabs or ADA friendly rehabs and such like.

Property:- Appraisal- Environmental- Perform a site visit (if needed)- Rent roll - Operating statements/NOI (look out for any one off capital improvements that could hurt cash flow)- Cap rate (obtain by comparisons to recent transactions for property type in same market)Borrower:- 3 years financials- Credit check- Personal statement on experience (if it seems they are new to commercial)- Obtain personal or corp. guarantee if needed (get personal net worth statement)At the end of all this, determine if we can lend the amount they are asking for if it falls within our maximum LTV and minimum DCR.

However, some elements, like capital and consumer sentiment are global, and or national, so my predictions look at not only local (supply/demand) issues, but also national politics and global money flows.  

Our downtown is being transformed unlike anytime in the past and cultural elements are booming.

I want it to be environmentally friendly and a delight to live in.
