As the title says, curious how long others are seeing in their area to stabilize a SFR in a C neighborhood.

Alternatives to ConsiderIf you want to involve an entity for liability protection or other reasons, here are some potential approaches:Assume in Personal Name and Transfer to Entity:Assume the loan in your personal name and later transfer the property title to an entity.Important: Transferring title may violate the loan’s due-on-sale clause unless explicitly allowed by the lender.

Getting title and getting clean title for properties bought at tax auctions are two different things. 

@Eva Sha - Yes, I generally advise emerging developers there will be anywhere from 5%-8% in closing costs (depending on the size of the loan), which include lender costs/fees, attorney's fees, and title fees, plus any other consulting fees.

In some states it's better to write a full mortgage because the foreclosure timeline is short or because the municipality will not treat the buyer as having equitable title otherwise.

This is a recent decision where a title insurer denied coverage to an insured owner who had been named in a suit to rescind the deed into the insured. 

You can secure the property with a promissory note drafted by a lawyer or a title company, but keep in mind that “taking back the property with the note” as it is often pitched by gurus is not always actually that simple.

If title is clean, a cash deal can close in 7-14 days.

Best thing you can do is go to a large title company like Northwest or Amerititle and find a 1031 intermediary.
