Seems worth it though, so I'm not running around trying to piece things together an build my own empire of employee and agents, etc.

I'd love to help you and represent you as a licensed agent in NC, should you be looking for a similar investment property.

I renovate 50+ houses/year through the BRRRR / Flip methods and also help dozens of agents do the same.

Any claim you may have will be against the errors and omissions insurance of the closing agent/attorney that closed your sale, not the title insurance.

About deeds, about financing costs about trusting when an area will likely rise in value Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Talk to real estate agents, property managers, contractors, lenders, title agents, etc. to find out what is going one.Also, you do need to think about what your goal is.

I have been talking to a local guy I know who is an agent and has money to invest.

I can share a good investor focused agent that we leverage in Edmonton 

Another example was when a shady seller's agent manufactured a magical ghost bidder, on a house that was just languishing, after we had a deal to get me to bid against myself on the house.

I have a good agent there if you need to chat.
