These are properties my husband and I have owned for about 20 years, one of which I lived in when I first purchased.I am looking for Portland, OR surveyor recommendations for a property line adjustment application (survey, new maps and legal descriptions) between the two adjacent lots we own.

Survey polls only speak for the people who were paid to participate - millions of people love living in California and don't plan on leaving. 

This is according to a 2006 survey by the Consumer Federation of America.I have seen firsthand the learned helplessness the lottery promotes, the continual reinforcement with each loss of the belief that no, there is no way out of poverty for you.

We've been talking to local landlords and property managers, and RHAWA (Rental Housing Association of Washington) did a mass survey of small-time landlords; there are promising stats across the board.Data Source:  https://www.nmhc.org/research-...For landlords who are in a rough spot, RHAWA also put together a great resource page.  

@Allison Leung I added this to the survey but improving the app.

In my case I already owned the land and was living in the house so there was no additional transaction cost other than surveying the subdivision and recording.

Only a metes and bounds survey.

Some ideas from others:* bank loans are not available on some types of properties * the tight lending climate has made bank financing "out of reach" for many * seller financing is an "age old" tradition based on private property rights * these rules would prohibit even partial seller financing - i.e. a "seller second" * according to HUD's "Residential Finance Survey" in 2001, roughly 40% of all non-farm residential properties in the US are owned free and clear * an estimated 6 million Americans own a property other than their own primary residence * an estimated 4.5% of Americans own three or more properties, many purchased solely as investment properties * 40% of non-owner occupied residences are mobile homes which are more difficult to sell with bank financing * approximately 5% of homes in US are for sale or for lease... seller financing may be key to liquidating this inventory

You'll understand how land is laid out, surveyed, types of properties, what makes RE valuable, zoning requirements, appreciation over time and forced into a property.

@John Carbone Wow you fix the article link but not on the post where I called out that it’s probably the KPMG CEO Survey?
