Hey all, Im looking to do a title check and instead of paying a company a few hundred; I was wondering if anyone has a good experience with websites like "beenverified.com" or other methods to check for liens/title issues? 

I prefer my method because with the $800/month estimate you might buy a property believing its a great deal, BUT sell it after several years having made negative cash-flow.

Some investors might also offer a flat fee, anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000, if it’s a smaller deal or if the realtor’s involvement was minimal beyond bringing the opportunity to you.You can negotiate based on how much work the realtor did (e.g., facilitating the deal, negotiations, etc.).

A thorough inspection will give you a clearer idea of the true scope of work involved.

Sometimes they still made money too.The method of coming to an owner with an offer like this does show that you're trying to work for them (Probably doing more than realtor aunt Sally, realtor uncle Barry, or realtor brother Gary.

I have not purchased any occupied properties because the risks involved seem too high.

I agree, but Vail is not involved.

These properties are typically bought by individuals or families who prioritize location, size, and condition, making the comparable sales method more reliable.Income potential still matters, and calculating the NOI can help you ensure the property cash flows well if you plan to rent it out.

Since REPS is determined on a joint return basis, her active involvement and the combined hours can qualify you to offset your 2024 W-2 income with real estate losses, including losses from cost segregation and bonus depreciation on your remaining rentals.
