Watch out for any debt you had on your SFR.

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?

@Stacie TellesMost lenders have a seasoning period (typically 6-12 months since the original loan), so check with your current bank or shop around for others.I would also watch out for prepayment penalties on your current loan.

@Kasey Hardt very interesting,  didn't realize this was a pattern but even I've got friends that are getting recruited to the area for medical device startups etc, so could be a very interesting trend to watch.

Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing).
