Need advice on selling a property before I get the title work back
Hello and thanks in advance!
So this is the way I usually do a transaction. I purchase a property at the sheriff sale on day 1. Day 14 the sheriff calls me to come pick up my Sheriffs Deed. I then go the same day to my title company and get the title work started and typically on day 30 I get a call from the title company telling me that my title work is done and I can now sell the property and provide warranty deed.
This is the situation I am in. I purchased a property (day 1) and have a buyer lined up at day 7. So even if I had the buyer wait till I got the Sheriff Deed in my name in my hand, is it possible to sell the property without waiting/ doing the title work? Its a very very cheap fixer-upper, and was wondering if its possible maybe via quitclaim deed or etc? Also since its such a cheap property I would like to avoid paying an attorney and would also need to know where to locate a good purchase agreement for Indiana. I found one on in.gov but it has the year 2006 written in it.
