I have bought well over 100 props without title insurance. although out your way i would not buy without   in our west coast markets title tends to be easier to track as its digital in format.  

The good news for you is that Indiana is a Reciprocal state with Pennsylvania ( use form WH-47), which means you do not have to file separate tax returns for each state. you may have to file for the income made in that state to them but you do not have to report income from PA to them. it does get complicated - Nj and PA are reciprocal states and my properties are in PA and my CPA is here in NJ. i suggest you hire a CPA, tell your wife it is not that you do not trust her, you just want to relieve her burden of doing the now complicated taxes.

This was bad news however I wasn't too worried. 

Her roommate and I met in person to sign the lease, and everything else was digital.

The good news is I was able to get everything done on the cheap wIth my contracting know how and sweat equity.

For this reason, most statistics about international migration into Des Moines cited in the news media are probably referring either to Polk County or to the Des Moines metro as a whole (Polk, Dallas, Warren, Madison, Guthrie).

Good Evening, I have a what seems like easy question but the more I dig it is very complicated.

The good news is, contractors (if they're not flying below the radar) are easy to research before you start "dating".

Just like @Kevin Dougherty said above, you can very easily get a double digit return if you buy real estate correctly.

As I scale up, I would find a digital solution with low processing fees.
