Also, being disinterested in RE shouldn't be viewed as a problem, or character flaw (if it is, you'll start seeing a lot of people as pretty flawed--which isn't an enjoyable way to go through life).

I understand it varies by county but I assume I can just contact the county via phone, email, or online portal.Do you know of examples of what an official title search could uncover that I'm likely to miss?

I just read all the BP posts I could find related to the Section 121 exclusion ($250k/$500k capital gains on primary residence) and I uncovered two issues that make me want to sell our AK house soon.#1:   I can only use the 121 exclusion once every 2 years.   

However, I can still budget for a worst-case scenario if something is uncovered that wasn't anticipated or if the job takes a little longer.

There are a ton of properties out there that appear to be great deals on the surface but when you run the numbers they expose their flaws.

Philippe- In terms of large assets I would venture to guess the "future buyers" of a resale would be able to uncover the end of a PILOT program in their due diligence period.

This, I think, is flawed in many ways, some of which I try to illuminate in my post. 

The lessons I got from the infinite banking concept (which is a bit misleading and has flaws) are these:- Just like if you owned a store, you wouldn't and shouldn't take groceries for free, you should pay for them, don't steel from your savings: pay yourself back.

Summary is good tho but that article has floated around the web for years and has flaws.

Im hoping someone can pinpoint my fatal flaw so that I might correct it before it’s too late!
