You may think its great because payments are getting returned - but then you realize you cannot get the mortgage off title and satisfy it if you ever go to refinance.

U know the amortization books the title companies used to give us..

As a PM with 65 units, ours are basically identical to that

We are a title company state.

Meet with the title officer and ask them for a short list of investors who actually buy.   

keep in mind documents affecting title are recorded at the county recorders in every county in the US as such they are open to the public.. and anyone can walk in an record documents now certain things need to be done on the documents to record them..

That's not impossible, but you need to have a plan since the property is already available for many people to consider.You can do a double close, if you can find a title company that will do the second half of the transaction.You can also buy the property in an LLC, then sell the LLC to your end buyer.
