Carolina Park Still On Hold

Fri, Mar 16th 2012 3:22 pm by Alan Donald Mt Pleasant Real Estate Market

Carolina Park in Mount Pleasant, SC Still on Hold

Carolina Park, the large, 1700 acre mixed-use community to the North of Park West in Northern Mount Pleasant, is yet to re-start construction after the foreclosure sale the original developer went through. 

I heard through the grapevine that the new owners still have to clear some liens from the title before individual builders can re-start construction. These builders include "new" participants such as Ryland Homes and John Wieland Homes.

If you are interested in receiving timely updates on Carolina Park, please send us an email, or call us on 843-416-1434.

FHA Increasing Mortgage Insurance Rates In April 2012

From the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's website:

SHOULD WE OBTAIN A SURVEY?

Wed, Feb 22nd 2012 10:41 pm by Alan Donald Real Estate

SHOULD WE OBTAIN A SURVEY?

Contributed by David Santos, Real Estate Attorney, Dodds & Hennessy, Charleston, SC 

SurveyMany mortgage lenders have recently adopted a policy of not requiring a current as-built survey to be obtained in connection with their loan. They have adopted this policy because most title insurance companies have recently agreed to insure them (the lender) against loss or damage for matters which would have been disclosed by a survey of the property. Unfortunately, most title insurance companies have not agreed to provide owners with the same survey coverage unless a current survey is obtained.

The effect of this is the obtaining of a survey in connection with the purchase...
