this issue as you can see has to do with a garage in the back of the property but the property clearly fronts a public right of way and that is all title insurance is going to cover.out our way you would get a preliminary title report and your map in said report you get that a few days after you open escrow its incumbent on you the buyer and your real estate agent to read the report and look at the map and then if there is a question you address it during your due diligence period.this one would easily have been caught if someone had just looked at the map when they bought it.. you would have a big red arrow pointing to your lot.. you would see your lot lines you would see the driveway behind you was not your property you would also see its not public right of way but a piece of private ground.. then as a broker or the buyer you would question that.. and if needed then order a survey or talk to the land owner.I have a big landlock case going right now were Chicago title missed that my property was land locked.. its a 500 to 750k property.. that if I can't get access to the public right away they are going to have to stroke me a check.if it is landlocked then in the preliminary title report you get and out here they make you approve.. there would be an exception that your parcel does not appear to have access to a public right a way and that then starts another process.even though my property is 3 lots that had 3 homes on them and had been using the same driveway to access the state highway since 1945. but the state of Oregon owns a strip of land between my property and the highway that is slated for a pedestrian trail.. even though this property is in the boonies 25 miles out of town.. the trail goes for about 40 miles.the state is not obligated to give us any kind of prescriptive right and they declined.. so the only way to get on the property is through a neighbor and of course once the neighbor knows they have you by the you know what.. they want a bunch of money.. so its up to the title company to figure it out .. buy my easement or pay me off.If there was an exception in the title policy I would be sitting there like this lady...

If you don't have the down stroke for thier financing I'd rather you do something else, like saying I'll buy the ugliest house.

Bruce...  55 yrs old, just got his kids out of the house, Good job, good wife, out of nowhere had a massive stroke, never woke up and died 5 days later. .......When I was 28, in 1988, my wife was 26 and we had a 3 year old daughter, good job, new home, new cars, life was amazing, and bam, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.

"Different Strokes for Different Folks."

Even though in the stock market your funds are managed but you can push a key stroke and sell... ( liquidity) if you own an asset in the entirety you can sell ..

In this 10-part blog post - spread out over 5 weeks, I will outline, in broad strokes, the 5 ways of selling houses FAST in this really slow real estate market.What is TIP # 1?

When I give to a charity I never stroke the big check at first.

Instead of a BP tax expert trying to outline all the different scenarios, in a half hour or so sit down a CPA could give you an awesome broad-stroke 'what-if' for you. 

If you really want to have a healthy conversation about safety in STRs then why not do it without attacking every STR operator in a broad stroke? 

Justin,I was more specifically speaking of rmeeting the contractor and investor etc - I usually advise to watch as REO sales occur and/or pull trustees deeds - it was your stroke of genius that had them go straight to the posting company.The trustee's deed (as does the posting company ) also shows how much they paid for the home so you also have an idea of what the buyer is willing to pay.and now that everyone knows how to find buyers.......the focus should be on finding a deal.I really think finding the "deal" is much harder than finding the buyer.
