If he hasn't done that (and you haven't done it), then there is no proof of clear title.In fact, if a seller were going to go out of his way to try to convince me not to get a title search (as this seller seems to be doing), I'd be VERY concerned about what might be found.I figured if I could show this to one of my interested parties, they may consider skipping the title search as well.Most buyers are smarter than this.

It sounds like there are other issues at play that you should be more concerned about.

One of my main concerns would be once the building inspector starts poking his fat snout around that I would have to get the wiring, this, that, or the other "up to code".

If someone is going to steal my iPhone out of my pocket, they could also steal my wallet, and I'd be more concerned with losing that than my iPhone.Thanks for bringing attention to the fact that people who choose to secure their iPhone 4S need to also set Siri to "off" when the phone is locked.

I was thinking generally (and hypothetically) along these lines:* Deal with folks where we have pre-existing relationships* 10yr fixed rate - pay around 7.25% fixed for 10 years (this would be set at loan origination around the 10yr tsy plus 5.0%, or possibly the 30yr avg fixed rate + 2.5-3.0%); interest only ideally, or possibly 30-year amort* Right by borrower to substitute collateral to maintain the LTV (if we want to sell a property)* 1st mtg, 75% LTV on new appraisal value* One investor per property, in 1st lien position* Property rehabbed, seasoned for at least 90 days with tenant in place with term leaseHow have you addressed lender concerns around investment safety and illiquidity?

Hi,Dont really understand what your concerns are.

Hi everyone,I'm new to mobile home investing and I would like to get your opinion on purchasing mobile homes that were built before the HUD passed the manufactured housing standards in 1976.The three possible outcomes for my first deal I see as either flipping the home, renting it out or financing the property as a 'lonnie deal'.While I would feel comfortable flipping a pre-HUD home (as long as it passes an inspection) I'm not sure about holding on to a property that was built prior to 1976.What are your thoughts?

If I'm concerned about a potentially big issue (structural, mold, etc) that I can't evaluate before I put in the offer, I'll include a 3 day due diligence contingency.But remember, between the time you get your offer accepted and the time all the contracts and addenda are signed by all parties, you have a few days to do your due diligence, get contractors to give bids, etc.

If you are gonna flip it, you might not be concerned with the "lifetime warranty" of the repair, if offered, but if you are going to hold it for more than one season (wet season to dry season or vs/vs) you will want that lifetime warranty so you can call them back to shim up the foundation because it WILL move again.....and again and again -you get the point.

Mobile websites vs apps.
