(But I may screw up your survey...) 

A survey by McKinsey and Co. found that nearly one-third of employers will likely drop coverage for their workers once ObamaCare kicks in..

Lots of money in surveying, land studies, council meetings etc. 2-4 years sometimes and hundreds of thousands of dollars in just development fee's.

You can't just buy it and flip it without ALTA survey, Phase I, clear title commitment.

Moving forward will need to do a lot of the leg work before we buy the property (surveying, architectural, structural)- Ask for a longer closing time to accommodate the above- It's extremely important to get bids from many different contractors as sometimes they vary significantly.

The survey we was able to see two other houses on the block that have similar drainage easements.I don’t really understand how the house could have been built on top of the easement in the first place. 

I like to survey the market to understand how to design my unit to appeal to my target tenant and to ensure the highest rate that the market supports.

This will give you a clear understanding of the timeline for the lot division and when it should ideally occur in relation to the construction process.Cost Considerations: Dividing the lot may involve additional costs such as surveying, legal fees, and administrative expenses for obtaining the necessary approvals.

There is no datum point on a moving house to determine what is going up and what is going down unless you survey from an exterior benchmark, which is usually not the case.

You get into survey issues and proving that tree is causing the damage.
