Old Republic and Investors-title are both investor friendly title companies.  

Where I'm at, because of a very few but very notorious slumlords, neighborhood groups are up in arms against _all_ landlords and pressuring the city for landlord registration, huge landlord fines for TENANT violations, and so on.If you're not a slumlord, great; you'll probably beat this (unless you're in one of the socialist republics, and if you are - stop investing there).

The day is fast approaching that we stand in unison and declare the end of the Federal Reserve System.You have the power to make it happen, sitting back and watching as your countrymen take to the streets to confront the beast is not an option.Your republic needs you now more than ever to join us at one of the Federal Reserve locations to make the call for the return of sound money for America.Join your local group by logging in and clicking this link: http://restoretherepublic.net/user_group_browse.php?

Having said that, things could be different in the People's Republic of California, so you probably want to check with your attorney or another experienced investor in your area.

The bank (Wachovia) won't give me access to the MI company (Old Republic).

@Alvin Uy First Republic

@Curtis ChenI live in Montreal and, even though valuations here are no where near as in CA, I realized a long time ago that investing overseas in places like Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Spain or Portugal and that's what I'm doing.

@James Wright Republic Bank has great terms
