OK.. still pretty hi.. and keep in mind many of these is done with pipe burst no digging or new hot tap,, My brother in law does them in the SF Bay area as they are required on certain age homes if your transferring title.

I get low DP, being creative and all that, but I bet skipping proper title DD on top of not knowing how to handle hazard or title insurance beneficiaries will blow you up. 

Hello, I’m pretty familiar with the tax liens regulations here in Alabama but I wanted to brush up on quieting the title.

I’m licensed in NJ and the practice exams had identical questions to the actual test.

@Brandon Stiles the process steps are identical - how you execute them is different.

My question is, with everyone taking a loss, the title company has reduced their fees, the RE has reduced their commission, and the seller will walk away with no money, how do I prevent getting to the closing table and someone (Either the bank or the other lien holder) deciding they do not want to remove the lien or take a loss.

Your protection is language in your purchase contract requiring the deed provide you marketable title in fee simple and a professional title search and title insurance to cover you.

question is just as title say.

The Water Department still asks for the affidavit because they don't consider 'equitable title' ownership unless it's 'legal title'.....so I'm wondering if I can specify timely payments of the water bill in the LC as part of the performance of the contract (or would you recommend I put the water bill in my name on a Land Contract situation too?)

Title, inspection, my walkthrough?!
