He started out as a highway patrol officer, but after our second child was born we both decided it was best for him to quit and be the stay at home parent and for me to keep working.

I find a lot of enjoyment and fulfillment out my profession as a child and family therapist.

She is the only child with no siblings, do this have to go through probate before she can sell?

I suffer from anxiety and one day before closing they found that my brother owed 20,000 in child support and a lein was on the house.

My interest in REI developed when I was in my early 20's and wanting to secure something that I could pass down to my child/ren.

My wife and I have been listening to the podcast for a while and are interested in learning how we can use real estate investing to help us along the path to financial freedom, so we can spend more time with our child (and future children!)

I grew up on that property as a child, I'm planning to renovate,hold and rent out the cabin and barn.

Armchair agent attorneys, mistakes agents make and don't tell you about in a transaction until the last second or after the fact, notices from real estate commissions about (agent non-compliance for continuing education, back child support owed, student loan delinquencies, IRS tax levy request notices to broker on agents part of commission payout on a transaction,non-payment for agent license renewal fees, etc.)It goes on and on and on the drama.

Then you're going to need to do a title search and figure out exactly what the liens on title are.For example, let's say Butler County RE taxes have priority over everything other than city taxes, HOA assessments and child support.

Thats what I see most of the time.You are not doing something wrong you are trying to protect yourself and to avoid any title problems in the future.Basically you are buying the property that simple.I'd call the county clerk and ask about which site to use to search the records...that way you can do your own search not saying professionally but at least sometime you can find some liens on any property interested in like labor liens, child support, abstract judgments...etc could save you some time and $$$ by filtering your targeted properties before doing the title search through title abstractor.Some times I offer the former owners some time to leave like few weeks so I dont need to pay them alot and get them sign a short term lease with zero rent with waving their rights to fight any eviction and giving me the right to get the writ of possession right a way once the short term lease ends without giving them any eviction notice.Hope that helps.Good luck to all
