How involved do you want to be?

In my state anyway, there is nothing "minimal" about the time involved to be a Registered Land Surveyor (you need this to be able to "stamp' the survey). 

Now, this doesn't mean it is not purchasable, but it does however cause the investment to have more risk involved.

@Mindy Jensen is there any chance of bringing back the file place category?

Sorry about your loss - the bright side is that you wont have to worry about losing money in crpytos since you're not involved. 

Lenders simply give the "clear to close" letting all parties involved (buyer, seller, agents, attorneys, title rep) know that a closing can be scheduled.Your agent will be responsible for vetting your buyers to make sure they have a pre-approval and can even ask for proof of funds.

By this time my file went for Clear to Close review (CTC).  

Michael, it depends upon a lot of factors.For people involved with REI, it depends upon what you want to do with the business as there are different tax rules based on type of entity.For holding rentals, I generally recommend an LLC if you are setting up an entity at all.For flipping and development, I generally recommend an S corp.For wholesaling, my recommendation would depend more upon your specific business.

the 70% rule doesnt work the same on a 600k property as it does with a 200k property so how do i find out the accurate costs involved

However, the lien dissolves unless the party claiming the lien files a certificate of lien with the registry of deeds of the county in which the property sits within 90 days of the last supply of labor or materials."
