I can’t investigate the issue.

I have bought commercial RE in a Roth SDIRA and separately purchased a couple investment properties via 1031 exchanges outside of my IRAs.I too have hesitation of the above index funds and need to investigate further.  

My insurance company investigated and determined that it was in fact an Act of God.

"today with all the title fraud .. you prep your own deeds and you" will eventually get investigated.

Yes, this needs more investigation.

You could then track down the owner with a little investigation at the county records office or online.

Usually, after the first deal, the trust is built and we just ensure we keep building on that trust.If lenders do any other investigation on their end, they are welcome to, but I've not had anyone share anything that they've discovered that was of a concern.

I've worked with the CFE/attorney/investigative journalist reports in the past.

It's very SERIOUS.Onerent needs to be investigated by the Attorney General's office - they are putting entire communities at risk with their negligence.

As previously stated, each state has different and specific adverse possession statutes and you should investigate this further as it certainly could hinder a sale in the future, and you may find that future buyers are not as reasonable as you.
