New Construction

1. Dang straight not a regular fee.... but you know that's what's been offered by this bottom of the barrel AMC.... they obviously don't care that the borrower is ready to build. The lender should fire them.

2. Probably the wisest decision not to take it. Even if the op offered the full fee to an associate, it most likely wouldn't have been enough for the associate to guide them through the whole process to learn.

3. I used to take the blueprints to Kinko's and had them scanned so I could put a copy in my report. You need appropriate fee to do that however.
I think its a requirement we have a copy of the plans in the workfile or access to those plans for the 5 year file retention period.
 
What exactly is "full plans and specs"? What amount of information qualifies?
You'll need to decide for yourself what level of information you are comfortable with. For me, I want a complete set of plans and a complete breakdown of what is being used to complete the improvements. Of course, you can... and I have... do an appraisal based on limited information. If you do, your report needs to spell out exactly what information you had and what information you assumed.
 
Well, you certainly will need the specs for the new uad3 light home inspection report. All minutia noted please.
