But we don't feel like we've worked our way up into hard money territory yet, either. 

It is interesting because when you invest in a emerging market you have to somewhat throw away your playbook you lean on in your investment territories.

I've purchase a handful of tax sale properties and done fairly well, but this is new territory for me.  

And, if the capital gain pushes her into AMT territory, she loses some favorable tax deductions and her depreciation allowances are reduced.I am also saying that IF the seller had the properties in service as rentals, then there will be unrecaptured depreciation that will be taxed at 25%.Yes, I am saying that the best tax outcome for the seller and for her heirs is most likely not to sell at all.

Now obviously I could ask the Title Insurance itself, but given the lack of experience in the matters I could be swayed into potentially costly territory later.

This is unfamiliar territory for me so any help would be very much appreciated!  

I recognize that the list and the territory play a major role, but I am curious.

Some markets are already past the peak and in speculation territory.

For the realtor, this is most likely one more showing among dozens he/she will have over the course of a month.Before I get into the TL;DR territory, let me just say I think the first realtor was not necessarily a bad realtor. 

Unfortunately, the negative comes with the territory, and at the end of the day it’s better to pay a property manager to deal with the issues so you can get back to sipping margaritas on the beach 😃
