The primary determinant (beyond the tax implications) is whether the lender will underwrite and permit the borrower to close in a company or require the individuals to be reflected on title. 

Title, appraisal, recording, insurance fees have the same floor of minimum costs.

Here is there email to me: "With regard to your previous email, the closing attorney or title company is not responsible for securing or holding back the lender's private mortgage insurance to close any deal.

But it has been about 2 weeks since the seller passed and the seller's estate has not given any information to my relator or the title company.Given that the estate is contractually obligated to the sale & that I have money tied up in the deal (earnest money, home inspection cost, interest), I am looking for advice to move this forward and/or a suggestion for a real estate attorney in Cincinnati.

Ask for examples of deals and then go look at county records to see if they're on title.

Hi, per the title, I have 5 acres of land in VT outright under an LLC.

What makes an installment sale the only means to obtain equitable title?

I'm not a lawyer but I don't see any justification for filing a lis pendens and clouding title as someone recommended above. 

Most are looking for contracts to use/the best contract terms to include and also identifying investor-friendly title companies in the areas they are trying to work. 

For a Conventional (Fannie/Freddie) cashout refi, you'll need to move title from the LLC to yourself personally.
