@Lella Bennett Stewart Title is one of the largest Title Policy co around and Empire has been OK as well.What they don't seem to answer is whether you have a gap in your coverage as a result of the transfer to the LLC or as @Tom Gimer points out you might be OK?

That search should produce all the public recordings done in that person's name.

Questions below.Can I open a solo 401k since I have an income producing LLC?

I would still have taken it down, but I would have had better expectations with the final result had I been closer to the final budget.

The lawsuit route will probably result in a worse financial position. 

It may give you more results and I'd take a duplex in a nice area over a 3-4 unit mf in a bad area.

The pipes were stolen prior to contract resulting in water gushing inside and wet carpets etc.

It is too complicated and will result in a wash, so no tax benefit to you, unless you are still able to itemize.

Have a formal appraisal of the land produced, and then hand that to your CPA for valuing the LLC. 

He has sold several deals to many flippers I know and they've all been very happy with the results.
