This sounds like good advice, but I can't picture exactly what comprises the "somethings" an owner could claim for. Could you give a couple of examples? I'd appreciate it, since like many people, I can't wait to be able to move to a red state.
An.existing utility easement which was legally recorded but is not shown on the property plat is one example. The associated costs could range from nothing, to having to relocate driveways and/or buildings.
I recommend you obtain advice from professional sources, which is always preferable. The title report should list things like HOA agreements, easements, known encroachments, leins, unpaid taxes, etc.
