Two nuggets to remember forever1. research every aspect of a piece of dirt before you buy, zoning, availability of utilities, soil condition, grade, previous land use and a ton more!!

@Sandy Spence I would make sure it is there before they move out. 

Does anyone have recommendation for a very good, honest, experienced and reasonable CPA, especially one in the Dunwoody or Sandy Springs areas, with a  particular expertise in such real estate issues?

It'll cover drainage, grading, soil/rock conditions, seismicity, and erosion protection.

Its been over 1 year since ive seen Bath County soil!

I did recently trade a laundromat I owned in West Jordan for a house in East Sandy and it worked out pretty good. 

Currently I own and operate the Sandy Nickelcade and a Laundromat in West Jordan both of which I bought and then "fixed up".Let me know! 

For example I've got a home in Sandy that's worth $410,000 in my monthly rent is 1,950.

The soil has to "pert test" and each lot has to have enought land (zoning provided) to hold a septic field line large enought for your number of bedrooms each.From my time owning a mobile home park, 70 pads,  I learned that the costs of septic, power, water, moving a home ($5k to $10k just to move a single wide / double wide) can amount to $30k PER LOT not including the MH.   

You must know then north is better than south, and east generally have worse soil than west, which affects property prices.
