Title Abstract Help (Need a Person or Good Book)

[Ori Skloot]

Hi there,

An area where I keep finding that I need to learn more about or bring someone onto my team is title abstract and how to interpret all the legal documents filed at the county.   

Does anyone know of a free-lancer who is or has been a title abstractor in California and would be interested in joining my team? 

Alternatively, anyone know of a good book that would help me understand how to interpret title documents? I understand the basic documents: assignment, reconveyence, deed of trust, trustee sale, etc.  But still when I look online or I'm down at the county recorder's office, I don't feel like I can tell what, exactly, a title company pull for their title report.

Any help recommendations or referrals would be much appreciated! 

Thanks,

Ori
