Holding up our Closings - The New Water Bill Legislation

[Austin Stack]

Most, if not all, active investors have notice that there is a new step we have to take in order to close.

We now have to wait 10 days and pay $10 to make sure there are no outstanding water bills on a property. Which is slowing down the process for investors to close quickly.

I have two questions for this

1. How can we fix or mitigate the time it takes?

2. What counties does it effect? - One of my buyers is saying it is a longer wait in Fulton county than in others... Is this true?
