Hi Melissa - Yes, I saw these and I’m leaning towards https://learntitlesearching.comthe content creator is on YouTube there’s  ‘about’ page contact info, phone, email etc.The other class might be fine~ but site is missing ‘about’ info, no contact no name, no phone no number no email- not clear who they are.ALTA is specialized/ costly (I’m requesting  some  cost covered by a job training program) so far I took a few quick low cost basic classes here: Understanding title reports , Basics of Title reports and escrow from online edhttps://www.onlineed.com/catalog?

Before you close, can the rent from your buddy and the midterm tenant cover your mortgage, taxes, insurance, plus a bit extra?

If you’re considering leveraging hard money lending (HML) for this flip, it could be a strong alternative to traditional financing—especially since HML is quicker to secure and designed for investors aiming to flip properties fast.With HML, you’re typically looking at covering a significant portion of both purchase price and rehab costs, which keeps more of your cash free for other expenses or emergencies.
