This is public info so they must give it to you.

I buy every house for cash, I don't mess around with double escrows and unless its a particularly huge sub-division or something like that, its all self funded.There are a couple of things I wil NEVER do during a shortsale:1) Charge an up front fee (or any fee)2) Deed the title of the house into my name or another LLC (unless the circumstances deem it, but I would really rather not get into that publicly, and its only in the interest of the client)3) Lease back a home to someone who is losing it (another predatory Habit that lawyers aren't fond of).

Smaller than that, and you have to have public water.Subdividing is a complex process, and will be largely driven by local requirements.
