Tracy, I appreciate the opinion.

Bigger Pockets community, would still love to have input on how to file a quiet title pro se, I'm a good listener and learner.

I purchased a property in a tax sale and have the deed. I want to file quiet title action pro se (myself).  Several questions:

1. Does anyone have a template they recommend?

2. And are there any steps other than filing the document with the court? Such as somehow give public notice for anyone to contest it?

(If the quiet title action becomes contested, I'll hire an attorney. Until then I would LOVE to figure this out so that any properties I buy and it goes uncontested I'm not paying attorney fees each time.)

thank you for all of the advice! We plan to have the best of both worlds and word it in a way that we are covered.

So, i want all contractors to start signing a contract saying, among other things, No extra pay unless there is a change order approved.

Only thing I'm not sure about is should I require all contractors to say they have liability insurance? Many work for a big name company and do smaller contract jobs in the side with their skills. I know I've only done 1 house but I'm fortunate nobody filed a mechanic lien or got injured. That would've been bad! So knowing we want to do many, it's a good idea to be protected. What is reasonable knowing we still want to work with these independent contractors and still be protected?
