you can do it yourself but I didnt have 3 hours to spend at the county courthouse here.lender doesnt care.title insurance is fine.homeowners insurance had to be switched to a commercial policy, but costs the same.

Best of luck to you. we are located in cherokee county, right next to cobb :) if you could send me those links that would be wonderful!!

Tell me what county/state the property is in and I will tell you how to look up the title on line...the borrower's name will be on the title and then perhaps you can locate him/her with a reverse address lookup...Regards,Scott Miller

Welcome.....I am in Orange County.....great to see another SoCal investor joining the group!

If the situation doesn't permit having the title company do it (as in working 100's of foreclosures) then I will at least do my own research at the county clerk's office.Now, I rarely buy title insurance when I buy a property. 95% of the time I end up buying it for the buyer when I resell, so I don't like paying twice.

if you do this without at LEAST filing for a DBA in your local county - you could get yourself into trouble.

It's the Potter & Randall County Appraisal District.

I live in a small town, although we have TWO granite quarries and about 25 installers (total "metro area-4 towns in 2 counties is less than 25K people) and cheap labor, central TX and it's still going to run about $55-$60 sq ft, including edge beveliing, around here.

There isn't much in Grundy county itself, so you will have to travel some.

I am interested in a property in Will County, Illinois.
