Most classes are geared to those wishing to hold a real estate license.What have you read so far (book titles, etc)?

Have you tried your local title companies?

but how do i check for a clean title before I purchase?

I typed in the above post title and found some realtor in Cleveland that cut and pasted my entire article word for word with NO reference to me.

you might check with a few title companies in travis and bastrop counties.

The idea of hooking up with this other guy was to better handle the leftovers.The broker evaluates the borrower's credit and track record, gets the appraisal done and does all the paperwork with the title company.

Or the option is bought back later (canceled) when the investor wants to refinance or do something where having the option on the title is an issue.

Oh James you making me blush you have never heard the term mandate, that is like me saying that I do no like the thought of a title as a model!

I could imagine what it is about from the title, but don't have a complete picture . . . could you give a few more details about the book?

@loki:Americans can indeed own property in Mexico either directly outside the "Restricted Zone" or via a guaranteed trust within the "Restricted Zone".The "Restricted Zone" is defined as any area within 100Km of Mexico's International land borders and within 50Km of Mexico's coastline.Residential and commercial financing can now be obtained through American banks and American Title is used, which is great for investors here in the US.I'm always open to questions and dialog. so feel free to ask.Thanks for the welcome.
