@Jonathan Greene Thanks for the recommendation!

I purchased the property 10 years ago with the idea of it being a long term investment.

I just still need power. 

Would that be okay if I just did that?

Your money and your assets just have to survive the cycle shift in years before the next upturn.

I have just purchased a small SFH 2/1 in Miami that needs updating and I am looking for a contractor that can help with the job.Any guidance or references would be extremely appreciated!

At this point, I feel like both were wrong and I should just get a land appraisal.

Remember, your insurance agent isn’t just someone who sells you a policy.

Last point I would like to mention is that I am current renting, and I plan to purchase a primary residence within the next 2-3 years.

You can always call up the title company beforehand to get an idea if they charge any sort of settlement, recording, doc prep, etc fees.As for the Seller side, the buyer chooses the title company 95% of the time, unless seller just recommends one.
