@Ryan Chatman I always have the property surveyed directly after getting under contract as it can sometimes take awhile to get it back depending on their work load.

A set period of time (usually 7-14 days but varies by state) after signing the contract that the buyer has to inspect the property, thoroughly review disclosures, review HOA docs, title search/survey, and any other research necessary.

These types are nothing more than vultures in the industry preying on people's trust and ignorance about the loan process.A deposit on deals in the millions it typically about 15,000 to 20,000 ( That generally covers appraisal,survey, phase one, site inspection, lender legal,etc.).

I *think* I've got four things to track with each flip:Purchase-related costs (closing costs, appraisals, surveys, etc.)Rehab costsHolding costsCosts related to sales (commissions etc., buyer concessions, etc.).I'm wondering how to record my transactions so far.

Precisely why when I took a BP survey last week I responded that the biggest problem to address on BP is questions from an unknown location (which imo should not be allowed) followed by a stream of answers from people located everywhere.Sure it makes for interesting reading but it’s not particularly helpful. 

At a minimum we want an MAI appraisal, title report and survey.

Hi BP Community,I'd like to survey the forums on the best use of a year's worth of rent paid by a great tenant upfront on a personal residence that is just in the 1st year of a 30 year conventional. 

Maybe they took only the survey on the northside of the City. 

Market-based measures of inflation compensation remain low; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed.Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability.

So far I see some potential in insurance claims (hurricane damage/roof damage/flooding), undeveloped land (mapping/surveying), and construction sites?
