They did a significant site survey and made a lot of different suggestions based on the needs of my building.

I am having a survey done to determine the exact boundaries next week.

Or, the selling price may be low enough and even under the appraised price so that the lender ends up covering all closing costs.They may even cover the down payment if the price is right.Your share of closing costs.This can include things such as points to the lender, documentary stamps, recording fees, appraisal fees, survey costs, prorated taxes, insurance, and part of the next house payment.Often many of these fees are negotiable between the buyer and seller.Remember: There is no such thing as a “customary” fee that you alone are responsible for.Everything in a real estate deal is negotiable.Whatever you and the other party agree to, or do not agree to, is entirely up to the two of you.I have personally acquired homes where I agreed to cover closing costs because of a very low purchase price, or I have negotiated closing costs that I knew my buyer would cover.

We knew exactly how fast we could plan the development, survey the land, install the roads, and sell the property before the first time my father spoke to the seller.

Just a thought, if you can, put out a survey so those who see the property can give you feedback in case there is a detracting factor that you haven't recognized.

In some states obtain a survey and have title policy include area declarations.9.

Make sure you do the following on the contractor end:Develop a detailed rehab scope of work when you get the houses under contractReview the county permit requirements Architectural drawings and or property survey neededGet written quotes from GA Licensed and Insured Rehab -General ContractorsCheck references and review a few past projects to check for quality and contractor completion history......etc.Just a few items mentioned....Good Luck!  

DO NOT let some mortgage person hold the money.Typically a bank,credit union,etc. the lender deposit goes to them and then (appraisal,phase one,site inspection, survey (if required),etc. are taken out of the funds to pay the contractors).

@Stephen R.The PSA you linked to seemed so basic, with no mention of surveys, closing costs, etc.

Create a survey.
