I just had one of these I made a title claim and the title company paid me off.if your stupid enough to buy without title insurance your in trouble.also if you don't know any better and don't pay for a policy that also covers the wholesale fee your going to be out of luck when you make your claim . along with any rehab you have done.Now for me I was able to make the claim and got paid AND I filed a quiet title action and won that so now I own the property .. the fraudster is being chased by the title company and well it took 18 months but it looks like we might come out ahead..
