What Protections do you Need when Buying Direct from Owner?

[Tariq K Frantz]

When buying direct from an owner (Seller is not using an Agent) what do you need to look out for, how do you protect yourself?  Thanks, TK

This might be a time to pay for an attorney.

In my State, I'd just want to be sure a title company would sell me title insurance.

Maybe 20 years ago I would've wanted to be sure I had an inspection done and that the Seller did a req'd State disclosure form. Now-a-days I just want to be sure I have clear title.
