I ran across this situation and my broker was able to do the deal by looking at the assessor's data vs the survey provided by the HOA.

That will raise the question of who will pay for the title work and surveys.

You can pay for an environmental survey to verify.I simply will not touch a property with an environmental problem, So if I wanted that property, I would make my offer contingient upon an environmental survey and if it came back as contaminated, I would back out of the deal.If would cost me more than the $56,000 you are offering to clean up several years of oil and antifreeze dumped on the ground.Then after it was cleaned up, I'd be required to disclose and buyers would shy away.No thanks.

That's a great question, Marc, and frankly, I don't know the answer, but will call on Monday to find out how to handle potential tenants who don't have internet.That said, I've had section 8 tenants and know many others who work with low income tenants, and when needed, these people can access the internet.Consider this:Here is some data from the Pew Internet Project:In a national survey between November 30 and December 27, 2009, we find:74% of American adults (ages 18 and older) use the internet -- a slight drop from our survey in April 2009, which did not include Spanish interviews.

I already made a marketing survey in the location where I intend to put up the business.

We closed on the land in Mid May, closed on financing in Mid July (took 45-60 days...very long), and then after that survey and septic design had to take place which took about another month and a half or so which puts us towards end of August.

There is no way to know until you have a company come and do a survey.

However, this is a high level look:Each side pays for Costs they generate during the transaction.Buyer - inspection, lawyer fee, appraisal, property survey, loan origination fees, underwriter fee, loan doc fee, points, first month's payment, title search and lender insurance, recording fees, FedEx, 12 months of home insurance, 6-12 months property tax, miscSeller - agent commissions, transfer tax, title search and owner's insurance, mortgage close out fees, recording fees, lawyer fees, FedEx, misc

Have him do a survey of your system.

Generally, our experience is that detached is always preferable to attached when buyers are surveyed.
