Quick question about a deal. Any help would be appreciated!
Hello everybody. I am a newbie and currently looking at my first deal. The one I am looking at is a three unit and it is a short sale. Under the write up of the property it states "If property is vacant and no utilities are on (which I am guessing it may be but I will find out when I look at it), buyer is responsible for activation. Buyer to verify multiple unit zoning prior to submitting an offer." My question is how do I go about finding out if the unit is properly zoned? Should this be a concern for me? Also not to sound stupid but what do I do to go about checking into the utilities and making sure they work before I make an offer? Do I pay to have them turned on just to check before I even make an offer? Any help or advice would be great appreciated! Thank you so much!
