Recently, a real estate friend suggested I consider starting a title company, as he and his partners (primarily in commercial real estate, like strip malls) could bring business my way.While I’ve worked with title companies in my transactions, I’ve never explored the inner workings of how they operate.

When you add the accounting into all of this, it’s been quite the headache for me to manage where everything is going.

I have done 1 year and 3 year terms over the years with them.

The restrictions can be pretty brutal. 

Others who focus on CoC (I focus on IRR and EMx) will probably comment as well, but most "good" CoC returns are in the 6%-10% range.Out of curiosity, did you buy the property for $75k and is the ARV $130k? 

My gut says you probably want/need separate policies for the different entities at the very least - the purpose of having them is to keep things separate in case of a lawsuit, so combining insurance would pierce the veil and allow someone to come after everything. 

Nice job acquiring the first deal.

He's a partner in an STR management company and is very active in that sector right now in the Charleston area. 

On the other hand, they will manage investor's unit as part of an 'apartment complex' (https://www.zillow.com/b/6734-summer-fest-drive-109-110-san-...).

My question is, is the process the same when the owner of record is the foreclosing bank?
