At this point the manager must have realized I was about ready to hop through the window and choke some sense into the twerp, because he came over and gave me a full refund, an apology, and a gift certificate.

In some areas that I buy in, there are third parties that certify the taxes and municipal utilities that have been paid and which are still due; this certification took over 1 week for a purchase I made at end of 2011.

Marie Poe and anyone else who can help: I submitted the notarized grant deed and other needed documents (PCOR, certificate of trust, etc) to the title insurance company and they pointed out that the title record is clean except for a line of credit my father had taken out in '05 but never used.

You verify that they have license, bond insurance when they provide you with the certificate showing it current.

I need some professional advise on the subject of tax lien certificates / Trust.I been buying TLC for about 2 years now, however I just came across a deal with some good potential.

I'd like to know if they are degreed in areas of finance, continued education and any certifications...

Sounds like you already closed, so for the next time you should have an estoppel certificate completed by each of the existing tenants; with that, you can establish conditions of the premises at move-in (along with lots of other things) - especially important if the seller does not have such records (hobbyist landlords and mom-n-pop landlords don't always use good paperwork and practices).Now, what do you do in your present situation?

I've got a binder where I keep all company related infrastructure - Certificate of Formation, Registered Agent, Operating Agreement, Meeting Minutes, Business Plan, etc.

Closest thing for 1-2 families is a certificate of occupancy and that's only when the ownership changes hands.

What happens if the city comes in to do a certificate of occupancy inspection and says the basement kitchen and bedrooms must go like they do here in NJ?
