For many contractors and investors it's "out of sight and out of mind".They play stupid.The cost they save on not doing it they will play stupid if they get caught and then negotiate the penalties.It's kind of like when an oil company back in the 80's would save 10 million doing illegal dumping and when finally caught would pay only 2 million in fines so they kept doing it for awhile until the penalties were so harsh there was no benefit anymore.Do you think asset managers on REO's,or uncertified contractors, or listing brokers will mention this stuff to buyers??

Welcome to BP where you can learn everything without them snake-oil salesmen.

My approach to land lording has always been to treat it like a business and I have lots of experience with residential home remodeling since I'm license plumber/gas fitter and commercial HVAC & Oil heat technician in MA, though I'm no longer in the business today.

Steve Babiak I did let Steve from the borough know that it's because she stopped paying for the oil.

I also have access to/use of about 7 acres of mineral rights in Oklahoma, a small portion of which is paying oil and gas royalties.I need to learn how to leverage this while having zero income and bad credit including a foreclosure 13 years ago.

Wording is a little different but the same kind of thing.I also get the "geologists, fisherman, oil rig roughnecks" who's company is paying for their getaway and need to pay with a company check...

We are not marketing snake oil here.

I work in the oil & gas industry and negotiate with property owners everyday, so this opportunity seems right up my alley, I just don’t want to waste my time.

Yeah it is really important I always stress that to borrowers to plan ahead but the reality is that most LO's meet borrowers and clients at the last minute when no planning can be done and we pretty much have to wing it the best we can with what the borrower is prepared to and able to show at that given moment.With 2-3 months or even 1 year advance planning the borrowing process can work like a well oiled machine.

There were contaminants, oil, grease, toxic material, tanks down there.
