Is it better to close with an attorney or a title company in Portland, Oregon?

However, more savvy real estate investors will want you to have skin in the game and the ability to pay the loan back.

It’s a numbers game of buying lists or driving for dollars .. taking note of rundown looking homes and sending out thousands of mail pieces and working to convert motivated sellers into selling their home . https://www.marketwatch.com/story/home-flipping-activity-reaches-six-year-high-2018-06-07

Worthwhile if/when you need it - but it’s always nice to be able to close in 1-2 weeks and not worry about anything other than a clean title!

are there better ways to show skin in the game for hard money investors?

Although I've looked (and made lots of offers), I didn't realize that it was a whole different ball game trying to secure a loan for a multi-family vs when I bought a condo as my primary residence.I was hoping for feedback on the terms below and if they seem reasonable?   

Is it standard for HMLs to ask for a one-time deposit of $3500 that includes: 1) evaluators going out to property to determine whether it's a good deal, 2) enrollment fee and 3) "skin in the game"?

So as the title states, What is everyone's take on this.I am in the process of putting my first property up as a rental.

Unfortunately even though you filed BK7 and surrendered the property, technically you're still on title of the property even though you're not living in it. 

Hi BP family,Does anyone have advice or any recommendations on a reliable, investor-friendly title company in the Mobile, Alabama Area?
