Secondly, make sure you get an inspection before you are locked in as I have walked away from houses that had extreme repair costs for specific items (10k and more per issue) due to: Failing septic system, mold remediation, methamphetamine contamination, dry rot.

The levels are fairly high levels but based on the environmental consultant probably did not include manufacturing just contamination from heavy use via smoking. 

I had the lack of a backflow preventer come up on an inspection report recently for a single family residence- I admit I'd never heard of such a thing, but it keeps potentially contaminated water from outside from siphoning back into the domestic plumbing system. 

You need to worry about environmental contamination, illegal dumping next to the gas station over the years, and leaking of gas tanks.It doesn't matter who caused the contamination the EPA will make the current owners clean It up.If it's a new build the seller should have a phase one completed on the land.

I've been reading up on the issue and to my understanding all the contamination has been contained/removed. 

Any contamination can significantly affect your ability to sell the property.

They often sell good stuff to people like me that already knows them or other buyers and sell the scraps to newbies that do not know better and buy the dogs.At very least you need a good commercial retail attorney to do the lease.Biggest thing with industrial is possible environmental contamination and if per the lease they are on the hook for it.Basically there are tons of things to look out for and you need help.  

@William Yeh   Under non-recourse loans, the guarantor is not generally responsible for losses the lender incurs, unless they commit certain bad acts; such as fraud, waste, damage or destruction, misapplication, misrepresentation, bankruptcy, or environmental contamination. 

@Jon Holdman so do nothing, let everything fester in muddy, contaminated water, and then have the restoration company come out once the tenant is discharged from the hospital and has had everything removed? 

"The Real Secret of Success Choose Your Suffering.Everything you want in life; every goal you want to achieve; every dream you want to manifest: all comes with a price tag.Legitimate success in any endeavor requires that you pay upfront, in full and with your own sweat.There is no other way.To achieve any goal, you must choose the suffering that is right for you.Subsequently, you must live with the consequences of that decision.The moment you choose to not continue to pay the price of success, is the moment you choose to suffer the consequences of failure, which is, the WORST kind of suffering.The suffering cost of failure is ALWAYS higher than the suffering price of success.The cost and consequences of success in a job, relationship, career, or any area can cause a monumental amount of disruption and chaos in your life.Here are some examples of the suffering costs of failure:If you lack financial discipline, you will suffer the consequences of debt, harassing bill collectors and sleepless nights.If you do not manage your diet, you will suffer the cost of diabetes and poor fitting clothing.By not keeping your promises or honoring your commitments, you will suffer the loss of reputation and contaminated character.Sooner or later, each of us must choose to pay the price of success or pay the cost of failure.Sooner or later, you will come to the understanding that you MUST choose your suffering.The price of success is often more than people are willing to pay.
