Commercial vacant and industrial review checkpoints
Commercial, mixed-use, industrial, and vacant-land properties need a different review than a simple house. The starting facts are zoning, permitted use, access, utilities, leases, environmental history, building condition, taxes, code status, title, parking, loading, and buyer exit strategy.
Utilities and environmental facts
Industrial and vacant sites may need utility, drainage, soil, Phase I, prior-use, and access review before price or closing timing can be trusted.
Occupancy and title
Leases, vacant-building status, tax balances, municipal requirements, liens, and title exceptions can change both buyer demand and closing path.
