I also drew a set of plans for a room addition for my employer which I had stamped by the engineer.

Though we never bought any of the land, at one time we were looking at some, and actually drew a map showing highest and best use for the land and layout of the parcels (the property was also being rezoned) The City ended up using our map (we allowed them to) and they sold a few years later to another developer. 

So I "loaned" the wholesaler the money by funding 100% of the purchase price to escrow and the title company drew up a note and deed of trust.  

@drew engel: Your agent is probably very frustrated in dealing with the maze that Hubzu has for contact.

I liked the color and it was easy to apply;however, I was disappointed in the coverage as the aged wood really drew in the stain.In both cases I used a brush to apply the stain, which was quite a lot of work.Best of luck!
