It’s like a light turned on.Rewind a little, I graduated from Rutgers in 2011 and I have been working as a Chemical Engineer/Technical Manager since.

Any previous use of the property involve chemicals, acid or poisons?

For anyone who's worked with Shawn Huss and team at Chemical Bank, do you know what their policies are with transferring title from a personal account to an LLC?

And a few hundred dollars a year chemicals.

As far as making tenants responsible for drains, suspect that could lead to more problems, I had several dump nasty chemicals in drains in the past, that can cause all kinds of problems.           

Only problem was the land was under active railroad tracks, and the remainder was wetlands.Speaking of which I have seen wetlands, flood plans, land protected by easements, or some other reason that the property can nt be built on, sold at tax sale.I've seen property sold at tax sale that were toxic waste sites, including Super Fund sites.I've seen a chrome factory sold at tax sale abandoned by the company because of toxic chemicals in the ground.I've seen former gas stations, dry cleaners, auto repair garages, and other toxic sites sold at tax sale.All of the above either have ZERO VALUE or NEGATIVE VALUE, welcome to the wonderful world of Tax Sales.

I personally have spent more than 25 years in the petrochemical industry and have had to wear fresh air respirators and full chemical suits in numerous pressure vessels and towers that have had toxic or inert atmospheres that were considered IDLH "Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health", and I still don't have the time nor the desire to worry about how someone's hair or lack thereof would impact whether or not I could work for or with them.

If you aren't shoving hot grease down your drains and/or toxic chemicals and/or sanitary napkins, you can go for years without having to have a tank pumped.

It seems that Vinyl floors are highly toxic since they are made of PVC, Laminate flooring also toxic since they have formaldehyde and carpets are also toxic since they have fire retardants and stain resistant chemicals.

And Septic is not a big deal as long as it is maintained (you/your tenants must never put any bleach or chemicals down the toilets, tub or sinks).
