On the return versus risk, I would think not.  Are

I rarely go to closings unless its here in Oregon and its convenient or its a big loan package etc and easier to go in.So what happens when I am buying and nothing needs to be notarized and of course they send the docs late in the day or morning of the same day.. by the time I print them sign them scan and return run to my bank wire funds .. the money hits the account at 4 to 5pm and the seller being used to wet closings and bound and determined to grab their check has to sit around for 6 hours  ..

The only thing you would want to check with is where are you located and can you notarize documents and would a court accept them where you are located.

Course, I've already contacted the creditor's attorney who mailed me a notarized letter of satisfaction that apparently I need to file with the LA county County Clerk/Recorder(?)

It needs to be notarized and recorded with the county to make it clear that this is a "real" mortgage, and you can't be "clever" and do like 0.00% for the interest rate. 

This is why deeds are required to have two witness and be notarized. 

Some lenders do require personal notarized signatures from the actual person vs. a POA.

The majority of property owners (investors or not) are in this for the long haul. 

TODD should also include the beneficiar(ies) name, legal description of the property, dated, signed, notarized, and recorded in the real property records where the property is located.

This POA problem -- a document affecting title not properly created, executed, witnessed, sealed, acknowledged, notarized, or delivered -- or some similar definition in the policy form at issue, is a covered risk.
