Need to do a survey on a property in the Northern New Jersey area.

Some ideas from others: * Bank loans are not available on some types of properties * The tight lending climate has made bank financing "out of reach" for many * Seller financing is an "age old" tradition based on private property rights * These rules would prohibit even partial seller financing – i.e. a "seller second" * According to HUD's "Residential Finance Survey" in 2001, roughly 40% of all non-farm residential properties in the US are owned free and clear * An estimated 6 million Americans own a property other than their own primary residence * An estimated 4.5% of Americans own three or more properties, many purchased solely as investment properties * 40% of non-owner occupied residences are mobile homes which are more difficult to sell with bank financing * Approximately 5% of homes in US are for sale or for lease… seller financing may be key to liquidating this inventoryThe continued success of our industry as we know it is threatened by these proposed regulatory changes.

First, I would survey the status of my cash reserves.

So in that case the landlord ends up fronting the money and takes typically years to fully recover from the tenants.I like to get inspection early in the process to get these credits right away before big money is spent on attorney,title, lender reports ( environmental phase one, ALTA level one survey, appraisal,etc.).

I typically need 75 days to pull together the plans, survey, and get a completed site plan so I can pull permits.

Anyone recommend a Land survey person or company that gives good rates?

While they may be doing alot of surveys or tenants and cold calling I have never had any verification of this in my time here in okc and have never, ever received a call from them on the pricing of our rentals. 

@Sean Boon go take a look at the property and survey the area before making a decision.

I could also use someone to do a survey/mortgage loan inspection on this particular property.Finally, I could use some investment savvy agents both on the residential side and the light commercial side to run my deals through and get some opinions of value before we purchase.  

What is the occupancy in that sub-market and what does your market survey say about the other comp properties?
