Looking for guidance before I submit a claim.

Analyze properties, submit offers, and close on the deal. 

That’s definitely the ideal scenario that I was concocting in my head to convince myself to give them a shot, but without them showing much interest in submitting a more formal application I opted to deny the request.

If they do not, I submit it's quite easy to do an internet search to find out what restrictions there may be in your state.

If the numbers work at a lower price point, then find an investor-friendly agent that is willing to submit offers for you.

Get pre-approved and submit offers on whatever property you like.

Mortgage fraud laws are divided into two specific categories, which are:Fraud for housing, in which someone submits inaccurate information in order to be able to buy a home under more favorable termsFraud for profit, in which a real estate professional falsifies information so that they can get more money out of a transaction"most states also have their own laws in place.

I don't remember what the options are, since I stopped after they said that you tell them you will pay their taxes, submit it to your department to approve it, then tell them they're not approved.

If that's the case, while I agree you should submit the claim to your title insurer and not the agent who issued the policy, I suspect the claim may denied as a matter occurring after the date of policy and therefore excluded from coverage.I handled a similar title claim and found courts had found that a tax lien as a result of a reassessment of the property became effective when assessed and was not retroactive. 

I got the order of posession last week and my lawyer submitted the order of possession to the sheriff this week.
