Our Financing Contingency ended 5/6, so now we are out a $5k Earnest Money deposit (plus the appraisal, survey and inspection, $7500 total) and don't get this great deal unless we act fast.In short, we provided to income docs for my wife, but our current primary residence is in her name, so that didn't help the DTI much, and we ended up losing the deal. 

Check with Curt Smith about membership.

I've got cash reserves and I've begun looking for another house to buy as my primary.I must say I'm very excited but also a little bit nervous to take this next step.Thanks to BP for being a wealth of inspiration up to this point and in the future.I've already paid for a membership at ezlandlord forms and have those documents in order.

The only true way to find out is to have the land surveyed.

Land survey = appraisal fee?

Just want everyone's opinion if we should get any of the following inspections done before closing:1) soil sampling / testing2) Survey 3) Well Report (we will be using city water)4) Title, Zoning and Usageor anything else you might think of.We have bought houses in the past, but this if the first time we are buying land for a future build.

Luckily, the field is already quite flat.I'm having a survey done on the property, so I will have that to work from.

There were surveys out for the last two, three years about the expectations and what people want to see as far as schools, shops, safety, street lights etc.

The Capital Replacement Study was suggested, but discouraged by my Tax person, because it wouldn't bring me anything.Do you also have a survey scheduled?
