A good environmental consulting company can help by providing things such as a mold survey of the unit (before she moves in). 

I would start with a rent survey. 

Someone already thought of that - they surveyed a small peninsula that gets back to the main road.

There is the offer, approval, inspection, inspection release, survey (this is a big part of what slows things down--NY does warranty deeds and banks require a recent survey, and there are only so many surveyors, so it can take awhile), title search, title defect curatives, clear to close approval from the bank (and this generally has to go through some committee that meets once a week or less), scheduling close. 

First, you are going to have to subdivide the property which means getting a survey and going through the jurisdiction's subdivision process. 

I bought a property in early Jan and as a new investor didn't look deep into all the things including the survey.

The residence and acreage are on two separate tax id parcels so I would not have to survey the acreage off. 

Survey, I have never hired someone to survey land.

Theyll require a survey, and I'll pay some origination.  

More of a survey to keep in the loop.
