Hi Melissa - Yes, I saw these and I’m leaning towards https://learntitlesearching.comthe content creator is on YouTube there’s  ‘about’ page contact info, phone, email etc.The other class might be fine~ but site is missing ‘about’ info, no contact no name, no phone no number no email- not clear who they are.ALTA is specialized/ costly (I’m requesting  some  cost covered by a job training program) so far I took a few quick low cost basic classes here: Understanding title reports , Basics of Title reports and escrow from online edhttps://www.onlineed.com/catalog?

please send me a case example I'd love to read. that's one appraisal. the knowledge I have as a licensed general contractor working with investors from 5 cities at a time all over the country buidling 3 different floorplans I would say trumps one ADU you read about online
