Give them a warning that the next time they miss a payment we will take them to small claims court.2.

What are some other sources I could learn from in the next 5 months (specific books, supremely helpful blog posts that I may have missed)?  

It's a terrible option if you're looking for a relatively short-term resale due to equity, but I don't see how it could be a bad option if the goal is to hold long-term.Am I missing something about this or is this really what it looks like: A first-time real estate investor's dream financing option for cash flow?

What am I missing? 

Maybe there is something else I missed while reviewing this.

I order a Municipal Lien Certificate from the city (confirms if taxes are outstanding as well as water, betterments etc) I used to do the title exam myself but the national title company want a third party because they would also have malpractice if anything is missed) I review what they send me and make a judgment as to the marketability of the title or if there are any other issue so the mortgage company is in first place (so I would order pay offs of any current mortgages or judgment liens, etc)Most of the registry of deeds info is available on line so I can double check or do a preliminary search (or anyone can search for that matter) As for getting copies on line, you usually need to be registered and have an account because they do charge by the copy.
