Hey BP, My question has to do with Ohio Sheriff sales. My primary residence right now I purchased at a sheriff sale and just closed on our last residence. While @ the closing I was talking to the realtors and title agency and said I was lucky for not having any big liens against the property. Also I have now found BP and wanting to move into some fix and flips and was wanting to do my due diligence. I have talked to a few Title Agencies and the searches are going to run $120-$150. Is this pretty standard? Just wondering if other options are out there? Since at the next auction I have 4 or 5 prospective properties which could $750 before even going to auction. Any insight would be appreciated Thanks

My first property has also a HUD property. I'm assuming you need the water turned on for conventional financing. I wasn't able to ever get permission to turn on the water because on the PC report it failed an air pressure test. We ended up taking out a 6-month note which is like a construction loan then fixed any problems then get the inspection when I refinanced.

Also I'm addicted to the podcast

Hi I'm Corey and I am from Coshocton and currently reside in Knox county. I am interested in getting into flipping and/or buy/hold. I work as a salesmen at a hardware/lumber store. Before working there I was with a general contractor for 5 years will I was going through college for my bachelors in accounting. We bought our first house through HUD and our current residence through a sheriff sale. Mainly looking to be a smart investor and the risks to watch for.
