A few searches and all I find are get a law degree at a good school and get a job.

I'm considering using fund and grow or searching for private lenders.  

To start your tought process read the file I have linked off my profile 1st paragraph:  How to buy a bullet proof portfolio.Next search for discussions on turnkeys in Memphis.   

Here's where I'm confused: I've seen people saying they perform a title search and even pay a title company PRIOR to bidding.

A quick search seems to come up with companies willing to fill this role for $100+/year.Should I be paying for this service for each LLC I form now and in the future or should I use myself or my spouse?

There are a ton of them out there, just put in a skip-tracing Google search.
