Your realtor or lender can pull a title report and tell you who is on title and what the mailing address of the property tax bill is within like 10 seconds, but that is only AFTER you identify the specific property. 

That'd what I thought but originally posted this to report that that isn't the case for me at least.

Back in 2012 someone went on ripoff report and said I was a scam artist.

I try not to focus on the number, but rather what's in the report.

I went through this property a few weeks ago and the condition is pretty rough and there is a large tree in the back yard which could make getting a new building permit out of the city complicated.Closing date is reportedly 5-15-16... a 60 day close for a HUD deal is on the long side.

.- A lot of pest report stuff that no one would care about on any non-VA transaction.- The important thing is that you do this AFTER you're 100% certain that this is the house you want, and that the seller doesn't have any "outs" to back out of the deal without consequences, and that any pesky underwriting conditions are signed off too (juuuust in case).

When you have a SPECIFIC REASON to extend it (after having gone in with 10 days), like an inspection report noting a foundation issue (or whatever) that you can show if needed, most reasonable sellers will get it, accept the extension, and commence to prayers. 

What is suppose to be reported on the title company's form 1099-S in box 2?  

Perhaps go through it, insert the numbers and generate a report.

The generated report of this should have a graph and numerical figures for projected equity, monthly cash flow, as well as, CoC ROI.
