I did a study on this and surveyed 40 investors in CO.

Wholesale contracts we normally pay all closing costs (survey, title, etc).  

I've done research on the steps to subdividing but what appears hard to find is the costs of such a project.Once I acquire the property I'll have to start from the beginning (platting, surveying, etc.)

sometimes they sub contract out the land use  surveying etc..

It just needs to be rent ready as the appraiser will do a rent survey and that rent amount that the appraiser comes up will be used to structure the loan- more on that below. 

Order a boundary survey from a registered surveyor showing the existing house and if you are making changes such as adding to the existing structure you will need to provide the addition and or deck changes on the survey as well.  

The Census ACS 5-year survey ought to help!

Spent a lot of money on a useless custom floorplan and various surveying costs. 

This is a combination of city permitting, health inspection & survey delays. 

The land was surveyed incorrectly.
