@Philip MurphyYou would need to have the taxes paid and payoff his mortgage for you to receive clear title and title insurance.All debts on the property must be satisfied to provide clear title

Check with your local attorney/title company as many times you can void your owner's title policy with a quit claim deed.

Moreover, most DSCR lenders require title to be held in an LLC.

The title company is not very open to the idea of escrowing money so looking for a way to get them to agree to it if that makes sense.

I've read through everything everyone has said, as well as carefully reading through the sales agreement and the final closing papers (that I did not sign but requested from the title agency)...

Quote from @Jonathan Bock: @David CherkowskyHow do you hold title currently? 

Property is in Katy TX, and I am on the Deed and title as co-owner.

He worked with a small venture capital firm in town for a while and he is currently the GC for a big title company.

@Theresa Rivard Typically, to qualify as a guarantor for a DSCR loan you will need to own at least 20% of the borrowing entity on title.

by Garret GundersonSome of these go beyond the core of Real Estate themselves and into personal wealth building, life, etc... but I have found much inspiration from these titles.
