This is both an offensive and a defensive tactic.

The tenant would have a defense if he had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

I love compounding interest. : )

Be prepared for a further action required result and soil drilling/sampling.I have been involved with several contaminated properties over the years and the primary reason you want to get a thorough environmental review is to provide an "innocent landowner" defense.

Note that the lower your personal expenses are, the easier this is to achieve, and this relationship compounds exponentially. 

Andrew WeilMan's Search For Meaning - Viktor Frankland much more like these..If you keep learning, and working hard to become rare and valuable, these efforts will compound into massive results.

Whether they do a convincing enough job to avoid detection or question of impropriety or the ability to mount a good defense in the case of a prosecution is a different question. 

If you reinvested the cash returns into an additional deal every 3-5 years, while also allocating even more additional personal capital each year, the compounded cash flow 10-20 years down the road, once you now have 5,10,15 different investments, looks very solid.

Can I pull out the carpet and lay self leveling compound on top of that 1” something?

Compounding interest is the 8th wonder of the world.1 and 2 are pretty easy, but you want to be smart about it!
