Encroachment on property line
We are looking at a property to flip and were notified of an encroachment...the front porch extends 5 feet further than it should. This is documented on the title as well. Other investors have passed on the property but we're wondering how big of an issue this could potetnially be? We have no plans to extend the house/porch but if the porch is covering some sort of utility lines, what does that mean for the property itself? Would they just tear down the porch if they need to get to those lines (at the owner's expense)? Are there any other risks that we should be thinking of? Does it affect buyers who want to use an FHA loan? Just wanted to know if others have run into a similar situation or any advice.
