Survey exception.

This  would save money on 2 closing cost and fees associated with surveying etc.2.

Hi Jasean, I would recommend looking at this link for a similar thread which has very useful answers. https://answers.angieslist.com/Can-building-permit-room-addition-built-contractor-q27661.aspxIt seems,  you are going to want a site survey first, then submit for the zoning review, then submit for the building permit review.

T-12, T-3, rent rolls updated with current collections, leases, any surveys or environmental reports, repair and CapEx warranty info if any. 

Nonetheless, I would still like to ask for your advice on this matter (To be quite honest, I am interested in doing real-estate investing in US because of the ease of property analysis which can be conducted there with services such as rentometer, biggerpockets calculator etc in comparison to my home country, Indonesia, where apparently I need to do a direct survey of the location first to find out the details of the property and many important information is not available online)

I came across this article today and found it very interesting.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/31/survey-new-york-california-last-in-personal-freedoms/"The top five states with the most freedom are North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, New Hampshire and Oklahoma, according to the study from the center, at George Mason University in Virginia."

IREM has cost survey books available for multi unit buildings broken down by size and area of the country.

If you cannot find the head, drop into the municipality and find out when the house was connected to the water/sewer service and try to get a hold of an early survey or plan to see if there is a well marked.

And, again, the reason I like cash flow+appreciation is that, if you're experienced and can run rental surveys, cash flow can be predicted to a very high degree.
