What does the final Alta say?

ALTA came out with issues of using a quit claim deed and chain of title issues.

You earn rents to the day of settlement, so if you close on the 15th you have earned 14/15 days of rents,as may be agreed (or to local custom or by law or ALTA) the amounts you collected are not fully earned, the remaining rents are due the buyer and you don't claim that as income, the new owner will.

Investigate professional organizations for Realtors, ALTA for title matters and clsoings, RE Appraiser sites, construction and rehabbing, development and planning, see what the American Banker's ***. is putting out.

Other issues, look up ALTA closing requirements, a dry read.

Check out the ALTA site as to title requirement.

If it's a legitimate surveyor with a current license or meets ALTA standards,Then I'd go to a land attorney, if the driveway has been there a while. 

JonThe American Land Title Association (ALTA) Homeowner's Policy of Title Insurance provides:Covered Risks14.

Yes, required third party reports are appraisal, Phase I ESA and ALTA survey. 

I'd look in Lavaca, Five Points, Beacon Hill, Alta Vista, Monte Vista, Laurel Heights, Tobin Hill, Mahncke Park, & similar neighborhoods.
