You read the title...

If title was not in Living Trust they maybe need to go through probate if total value above the basis plus improvements bundled is greater than $100000.Get all the copies of the recorded deeds on every property.

Thank you  You will need to get an attorney or potentially the title company could create the documents but they are typically created by the lender and their attorney. 

This post says I can use a bond or surety which sets money aside to account for the lien amount and then get the lien off the title.

(title transfers but the loan stays in place and is not formally transfered to you via an assumption).

.$20k-$50k is a good amount to fund 2-3x improvements for people looking to sell with clear improvement scopes of work with trustworthy contractors on 2nds up to 60% LTV.These are harder to find, especially with fewer people selling, but I suppose a network of agents,  title cos and lenders would help source opportunities in this space. 

With a general warranty deed the seller is guaranteeing the title back to the beginning of time and they will defend that title.

I would also like to protect my identity and I am filing a Wyoming LLC to manage a Texas LLC.

How are you holding title to the property?
