Welcome to the site and I hope to hear more from you.

Vik,This is my first day on this site and I promised myself that I wouldn't post, but oh well.

Some title agents will want the deed to be officially recorded before they will close you (which could take up to a week or so), and others will just need to see your first closing docs or will just call the first title company to verify the title transfer.

If you are doing it for SEO then you want unique articles on relevant sites.

Andrew,From what I understand, Chattel Appraisals do not include a site visit and are not recognized by the IRS.

Hello...my name is Jarrett, I found this site while scouring the web for REI information.

First, thanks for all the great knowledge I have already gotten from this site.

You could try to track down the new location of the owner, either by mailing a letter and writing "Return Address Requested" on the envelope, or by getting the current tax payer via the county websites, and then using one of the search sites such as www.zabasearch.com, www.skipease.com, www.whitepages.com.

Looks like a pretty usefull site.

I guess the first one is always the toughest, especially when you will be living there.Btw, your site looks great, and I am also a Mac user as of a year ago.
