DFW property survey recommendations

The price increases with the durability of the marker type.

I had a survey when I bought my property 35 years ago. It was in the country. One of the corners they found was already marked with a buried tractor axle. I suppose it's still there.

Thanks. Their website doesn't look like they are still open for business though:

Oops. That was who my contact was using in the trades back then. Looks like they got out too.

Ended up getting some advice from my program manager's neighbor, who happens to be a realtor. She advised me to just call the title company and let them order the survey because it'd probably be cheaper. Contacted them today and it turned out she was right Getting the survey done for less than $400 and it'll happen quickly rather than take a couple weeks.

Text me when you have questions or needs in FTW, I know a lot of people.

You only pay mortgage insurance if you are putting down less than 20%.

The mortgage company should do the Title Search for you. Let me know if you need a good mortgage company. No way should should be at more than 3.5% on a fixed rate.

The Survey should be less than $400. If you have "questionable items" such a pool or outdoor kitchen that is in easement lines then that guy costs a little more but is available...

Thanks man. We do not have to carry PMI. The mortgage term is 15 years at 3%. The mortgage company is doing the title search. The property survey was something else needed. Getting it done now for less than $400 No questionable outdoor items because the only thing we have in the back is the 6x8 slab they call a back porch. I'm not sure what we'll be able to expand outside in the future because we live in an HOA :/

Sounds like you have it all worked out then.

One thing to consider on the HOA. When we decided we were building a pool, I ran and was elected for a position on the HOA Board. I approved our pool immediately and worked on a couple of projects and then quit showing up to the meetings.....
