A title company should not be hiding the chain of title, it is a matter that a lender relies upon in making a loan and intentionally omitting information relied upon by an insured lender in making any loan is at the least an interference in lending operations and can be fraud, so don't even ask them to do that.Settlements have been under scrutiny in the past few years, the American Land Title Association (ALTA) is the insurance association that has regulatory authority or oversight over member title companies and sets policy nation wide.

The ones i have called areFidelity national title, Old republic national title, Landmark title, Florida elite, Benchmark Title svc inc, and American home title.

The American Banker's Association has educational materials, problem is you must be a member and that means being in banking, but you might find materials second hand on courses but they will be designed for the institutional side, still good stuff.I don't know of any text book that provides technical information other than papers written by finance types or attorneys.

and some opinions don't reflect what we are seeing from these companies as they buy 100s of properties a quarter.Companies like American Homes for Rent have almost $4B (that's $4,000,000,000) invested in one asset class, Single-family properties, across 22 states.

We are a society.

Whereas; many Americans want to the "tax benefits" of a mortgage.

Maids are quite common in China and are an inexpensive luxury in American dollars.

I NEED HELP...Does anybody have a number to the loss mitigation department at AMERICAN HOME MORTGAGE SERVICING INC?

Thanks for the flowers, Mike, have enjoyed many of your posts as well, and unfortunately, it does appear that no matriarchal societies have indeed survived, although there is a theory about one in Greece that lasted for 1500 years, but alas, gone without a clue as to why.
