This is a hard stop as in DSCR appraiser also does a market rent survey, and at closing you need a lease and deposit check.Think this way- roof no good, no appliances, or visible code violations then DSCR is not a fit.

Survey the market for current listings to get a feel for the areas you're exploring. 

Very interesting survey results regarding industrial, multifamily, office and retail real estate markets in California.  

I already have a topographic survey and soil reports.Could anyone please recommend a good contractor, structural engineer and an architect who specialize in properties on a hill and who have reasonable pricing.Thank you,Dina

(According to a FICO survey "high achievers" -- those with a score north of 750 -- are only using an average of 7 percent of their available credit.) 

It has been posted here a few times but the NATP (National Association of tax preparers) releases an annual survey of pricing for various services. 

We want to learn about the impact BiggerPockets has made in our member's lives so we have created a ~5-minute survey.

I had to get a current survey map created even though they were identical to those on file, but I understand why they needed their ducks in a row.

From what it sounds like, it is one single tax parcel and you would need to go through the process of surveying, platting and subdividing through the city.
