For your 1st time, pay a Property/Land/Transaction Attorney to review the title commitment with you to make sure that there are only the outstanding liens on the property, and that the owner has title.- Collect Tax Certificate to verify Property Taxes are Paid- Get a current statement from the seller to verify the existing balance, if they are delinquent, you can get the bank on the phone to verify the amount to make the loan current.- Review the loan documents, there is most likely a due on sale clause, which is why you won't find a title company to process these for you.
