Frequently Asked Questions

ALTA survey?

ALTA (American Land Title Association) + NSPS (National Society of Professional Surveyors) standards. Base survey shows boundaries, improvements, utilities, easements. Table A items add specific coverage (flood zone, zoning, parking count, etc.).

Popular Table A items?

#1 Monuments: shows markers. #11 Utilities: shows all utility locations. #13 Zoning: shows zoning district. #16 Impervious surface: for stormwater. #18 Flood zone: for insurance. Each $500-2500 additional.

When worth?

New construction: 15-20 Table A items typical. Value-add acquisition: 5-10 items. Core stabilized: 3-5 items. Large commercial: always comprehensive. Simple residential: base survey often sufficient.

How often should I rerun this?

Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
