That killed it for me. Old tanks left to rot underground was a deal breaker for me.

The dealership had tanks under ground too. I have a buddy that owns a company that installs/removes fuel tanks. So I was set with this one. The tanks were decommissioned in early 70's.

I have been trying to buy this building for 3 years! It has been in the same family from day one. He finally decided to sell and we got the ball rolling.

I have several homes that I rent. They are nothing compared to this shop! Didn't know what I bit into when I first got it. But remodeling a 16,000 sq ft building is very time consuming!
