Survey necessary?

[Craig L.]

I'm closing on a bank-owned 2-family next week. Paying cash and refinancing after some repairs and renting it. Since I'm not getting a mortgage right away, there's no lender to require a survey be done before closing. Would getting a survey done be prudent? There are no obvious issues with property lines, easements, etc. Have others who have done cash deals splurged for the survey?
