I don't know, it sounds kind of weird but my friend is kind of freaking out about potential liability since the lien was literally placed on the house essentially hours before closing. she needs to contact whoever wrote the title insurance.. the attorney is just an agent for the insurance carrier.. that should fast track.. this happens I have had it happen to me by crooks/criminals literally who put a mortgage on a property 15 minutes before my title company recorded my mortgage so when my title policy came out i was in second position not first position as my escrow instructions stated I needed to be .. 

A multi-unit property was purchased for $140k.

I'm very new to MTR and investing in general, but I'd like to know if even close to being on the right track!

There are tons of filters you can use including out of town owners, single family, multi fam, equity percentage…etc. https://www.melissa.com

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

There is still a lot to learn but sounds like you are on the right track. 

Curious why you want to focus on multi-state and not close to home?
