Understand how to protect yourself as you buy properties, do renovations, etc.4) Once you got #1-#3 settled, it's time to move in and close in on areas you go.

Any advice on delaying a purchase until the market settles a bit?

I'll let you know, we just settled this past Monday.

We settled for $375,000, although our target was $425,000.

In order to make such a claim, you must file an action the Court called an Action to Quiet Title, which is a cause of action used to settle title disputes.

So, the title insurance company the buyer is using wants either the prior owner to sign a quit claim deed so they know this won't be an issue or for you to do a quiet title action so that owner has only that one last chance to come forward settling the issue. 

This could be do to the new Asset Manager settling in or a permanent change in policy. 

I just helped someone buy a brand-new home and two months later they are experiencing settling cracks.Personally, I believe things were built better 50 years ago.

Maybe they are not willing to settle for anything less than 10% cash on cash return?

I should not have to wait a bunch of business days for my funds to settle.
