I've done to door surveys before, so i'm going knocking

A survey was done, and besides the completely nonsensical property description, in the original plat of that neighborhood, which was never officially changed, the city had planned a street right through the garage.

I believe that they send someone out to survey this.

But rental is assumed so you get the credit or extra income based on Appraiser survey of local rents for similar homes to get the mortgage approved.

There's no magic Fidelity-style app where you complete a survey, factor in your age, and a risk-adjusted portfolio (in our world, a property to buy) just pops out for your consideration.  

After my investors spent time and money on appraisal and survey, we had to terminate and get out of the contract.

When you list on the MLS you're going to have to pay 6% in agent commissions, closings costs, deal with showings, fix items that come up during inspection, deal with appraisals, surveys, and mortgage companies.

Get their survey and see what the issue is.  

I am really tired of spending thousands of dollars on appraisals, surveys and title policies (that protect lender only).
