Title costs

[John Shortridge]

So I was on the phone with my closing agent to discuss how soon we can close a REO I'm buying. She asked me, "Who is paying title." This brought up a serious of questions in my head.

"Does she mean title insurance? Title search? Owners title insurance? etc..."

Just FYI, this is a cash deal, but could some one educate me, or lead me to a forum post, or resource, on what the different closing costs are specifically regarding title? (Naturally, this excludes appraisal fees, lender points, recording fees, taxes, etc...

Another way to phrase, if I'm a cash buyer purchasing a REO, what "Title" expenses do I need to be prepared to pay?

Thanks!
