A Grant Deed warrants or assures a certain condition of title that is insurable for a sale to a 3rd party buyer.In the big picture, it may be easier to think of probate as a title matter.

@Steve Babiak Over 6 years the inspector probably cost me $10K for things that were not warranted or because he insisted they were owner responsibility when it was caused by tenant damages.

There is no reason not to warrant the transfer unless there are significant extenuating circumstances.

When a consultant is used, HUD does not warrant the competence of the consultant or the quality of the work the consultant may perform for the borrower.

For example, a monthly rental income of $1000 cannot warrant a mortgage balance of more than $100,000 (1%), and many cash flow investors want to see a mortgage balance of not more than $50,000 (2%).
