and obtained an FHA loan in 2002 without the additional property being included.So I assume the driveway and the deck were not there at the time.I assume the 2012 transaction was the quit claim deed you were referring toSo the additional lot was never mortgaged and therefore could have never been foreclosed on by B of A.HUD and B of A are not at fault in the transaction and they do title work but the additional lot would not have showed up as it was not part of the mortgaged transactionIn my opinion, your best and probably only option is to buy the parcel at the tax sale OR hunt down Mr Cooke and company to find out if he will give/sell it to you.My concern is that he may have judgment against him which would cloud the title or find out about the situation and just be an *** about itIf you chose to let it go to tax sales, I would try to make everyone in the world know it is a “worthless and non-buildable lot” lolThis is a terrible situation and I hope it works out !

Prior to closing a real estate transaction we conduct a "name search" with spelling % parameters, and then review the various names and judgments, and attempt to determine if they are one and the same as the seller of the property, to determine clouds on title.

The documents only need to be notarized and it doesn't matter from where.BIGGER issue is, the QC is usually the wrong document to transfer ownership - -you need a Warrant or Grant deed, otherwise the title will be clouded and that creates a bag of worms for later.

I've been googling different CRM programs and something called Mindjet but they are so expensive to buy (at this time) because I am just regrouping and I don't feel comfortable with my finances exposed in "the cloud". 

I'm not far away.The next two sentences are the most important thing I'm trying to convey: The one thing I know about business is that injecting emotion into decision making clouds your judgement.

I won't cloud this thread with the false expectations so many enter this business with and the majority who fail.

Hey all,Sometimes the Irish and Italian temper in me clouds my judgment, so I'm throwing this out to the smart, reasonable people on BP...During an inquiry into one of the properties we are wholesaling, a rehabber included this sentence in his email pitch to me: "According to public records on June 20, 2014 you purchased this property for (purchase price) and now are wholesaling it to make a (his math) profit."

You may also want to file an affidavit for the amount of the work, to cloud the title should it the deal not close.  

Of all the systems I've looked at Tenant Cloud is absolutely the one I love.

A warranty deed is what is conveyed from one party to another and technically "warrants" that the new owner has a clean title, free and clear of any clouds.
