Isrrael,

I have drafted homes for years and have only had to order a survey if there were topography constraints to overcome or the jurisdiction required it. Holly is correct, in most cases you do not need a survey, but if the land is steep you would want a survey to properly place the home, determine crawlspace height/basement depth, and grade the land accordingly. Can you share the jurisdiction? This will be the key piece of information as you also need to know the inspections that are required once the permit is issued. You can find the boundaries of the property and zoning via the City/County GIS website and the County Tax Assessor's website.

Hope this helps,

Hello All,

My name is Michael and I previously lived in Atlanta and returned August 1st of this year. I currently work for a nonprofit operating a public program managing the acquisition, rehab, and disposition of 25 single family homes a year.

While my current and previous employment taught me a great deal about the single family market and rehab, I am interested learning about private sector real-estate investing and financial tools.

My goal is to have my own single-family development company within the next 2 years, and am serious and driven about this goal.

I'm interested in learning from this site, and from all of you

:)
