My corporate background is in supply chain management/procurement in the aerospace & automotive industries, which I happily retired from a couple of years ago to pursue my businesses full time.

Yet the title company insists on charging me a Lien Procurement Fee as a title services charge.

Hello,In the past couple of years, I have successfully procured a few Multi Family Properties.

I have 50% and borrowing the other $45,500.I've procured the deal and will be managing the rehab.

Yes, it is a real possibility that COVID-19 is not as deadly as once believed, but if the outcomes are tragic and a larger drain on our healthcare and economic systems in general then this remains a public health issue to be solved.The best course of action right now is everyone can write their governor and mayor and request their state/city procure this test and in large numbers (and yes, the test already exists).Regardless of how we open the country, how we function and how we do business will fundamentally change. 

The second thing that has been reinforced during this period is that it is good to have extra cash laying around to be able to procure needs (for example, I'm from a state that is heavier on the restrictions). 

This does two things: 1) Triggers your mortgage company to procure very expensive lender-placed coverage on the property, and 2) Raises a red flag about the title transfer. 

Hey @Andrew Neaville & @Jaey Dallas - If you guys are starting out, instead of only procuring existing notes, you may want to explore the option of originating your own notes.

I’m young-ish (26) and extremely motivated to get started in real estate investing.Throughout the last year or so, I’ve been doing a lot of research, (books, podcasts, YouTube) along with meeting face to face with several enlisted members with real estate experience, all in the name of procuring as much knowledge as possible before diving in head first to our first property.

Margaret,I'm not a lawyer so I can't comment on the legality of procuring a primary loan and using it as an investment property, but I can tell you my family and I did something very similar to good effect.We have owned my current home for five years and needed an upgrade in size.
