Title Searches

[Roberto Costa]

Relatively new to RE and started looking at some Auction.com, Homesearch.com, Hubzu.com properties in Columbia, SC area.  I'm finding myself wanted to bid on 2-3 properties but obviously need to do a title search to check if property is clean.  Is there a cheaper way to do title searches than paying someone $200 a pop to do the searches and maybe I won't even buy the property?  I know it's better to spend $200 than get stuck with a $10,000 lien but if i do 10+ searches a month, it gets pretty expensive.
