Worse case type scenario (short of never being able to release the building) is that in 3 years the tenant decides to move.  

However, even if the deed was valid it does not release one from liability on the note. 

Also there are several liens from 2005 and 2012 that I do not see releases for.

If so, then you could look up high dollar transactions and see if a mortgage satisfaction / release was recorded to confirm ...

@Ashley Smith, I was told while doing confidential investor interviews for my site, so unfortunately I'm not at liberty to release details.

It will cost you a bit more due to the lien, but maybe you can take over the home subject to, and once you pay off the investor ( and make sure you get a release of lien filed)- you will only have the original first lien being the mortgage on the property. 

I had filed a police report for the unauthorized charges he made to my credit card, and eventually it made its way to the district attorney, who started preparing a case against him, but it will be on hold until he is released from prison, which is schedule for about 4 years from now.

What you're suggesting is a payoff, an offer to release the debt which has tax consequences, you can't buy your own note, you are the maker of the obligation.

I agree with the others, quitclaim deeds are better used for releasing interests than affirmatively transferring, although I don't buy into the invalidation of title insurance theory unless you are making a claim for loss under new entity.

They almost would not release the slab to the guy I sent to pick it up, and they never even acknowledge me when I'm walking around their dimly lit warehouse.
