I was not aware that if there was no 'release' that a tank could be left in-place, washed and then abandoned with with fill / foam inside.I get that regulatory agencies are unlikely to say there will never be any 'liability' but it sounds as if the closure report / 'no further action' letter stands as comfort to the (new) owner and any lender that the issue has been fully addressed.Oren

I don't see much talk about commercial business investing such as carwashes or food franchises.I currently own a auto wash and looking for a tenant and it can be used a used car lot too. 

What are you paying for when your get your hair done, carpet washed, clothes dry cleaned and so on?

Happy to be helpful, one hand washes the other I always say.

What amazed me most of all through that experience, was how the 3-Day Workshop felt more like a brain-washing than it did anything else.  

I was then able to use one of my rentals as collateral to purchase a car wash and leave the corporate world.For me, taking this approach, allowed me to be more comfortable in purchasing out of state with turnkeys.

And boy was he wrong.

., wash, rinse, and repeat for 6 years...then take a much needed vacation and decide what you REALLY want to do with your life.
