Here are the fees charged by my Settlement company recently for a purchase price of $105,000 in York County, PA.

The Settlement Funds go to the accommodator who creates an escrow account to be used for the purchase of the replacement properties.Yes, the 45 days and 180 days is a rat race. 

(try Power Prospecting)Get the DEAL and the TEAM  will materialize.( Controlling real estate with a skinny contract is a powerful leverage tool.)So when you talk to a title company - all they are going to do is quote you a price for settlement based on your contract.

Finally, if you are the winning bidder, as I have stated many times here, when they send you the contract you fill in that you are having your local Attorney/settlement company do the settlement and the title search (as opposed to Hubzu).

Title co (buyer's choice) takes their sweet time to answer questions, but sent us the castrated version of "ALTA Settlement Statement - Seller" (http://www.alta.org/trid/download.cfm?

A HUD-1 or settlement statement is not required to transfer title on a property, it only helps you have a nice printout of who pays for what. 

Hi,I had an idea from someone who said he worked for an investor that used this strategy for building a real estate portfolio and was wondering has any one else tried this or even have thoughts about it.What the did was find home owners that were about to get foreclosed on and offer them a cash settlement to walk and sign the home over the title them.

If your wife wants it, go get a good loan and go to settlement. 

Sometimes you are better to pay a higher price for a good settlement attorney.  

I wouldn't transfer the deed, I'd do a delayed settlement.
