60 years is pretty much standard around here... but since your property now has a known problem (trust me, title insurers do not operate in a vacuum), the time period is irrelevant.Switching title companies wouldn't fix the problem, it would actually hurt you.

You wouldn't need 25% on a fix and flip with a hard money lender it would be more like 10% to 15%  of total costs Most  HML will provide up to 90% LTC on deals not to exceed 75% of the ARV 

I have a family friend who is willing to provide me with a hard money loan to finance my next fix and flip property.

While there, watching the sunset over the ocean, brainstorm why you want to do real estate and which of the following below you want to do & where.Decide which kind of investor you want to be (SFR, Commercial, Land, Tax Liens, Passive, HML, Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, "Subject To", apartments, duplexes, assisted living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc.

I've been house hacking since then and been trying to little by little fix things up and build up more equity in the property.

So a full breakdown of the work that was done:New Roof and GuttersNew upgraded 100amp ElectricalNew Garage doorsNew PlumbingNew AC systemNew Kitchen - cabinets, SS appliances, granite counter, backsplashOpened Entry way to kitchenAccent Wall in living roomNew BathroomNew Front PorchInterior Paint (Exterior not needed)Recessed LightingLandscaping - fixed yard, removed tree and overgrown bushes, fixed fencingThe Numbers:Purchase price = 70kRehab costs = 32kSale price = 165kClosing costs = 13kNet Profit = 50kAnd now everybody's favorite part, pictures!!

We all share a similar level of experience as landlords however I have fix & flipped three times as many homes as they have - so I have better sense of confidence with repairs/contract pricing/construction/renovation budgeting/etc. 

Along with minor cosmetic fixes, we rehabbed the kitchen, a bath and all the floors, then sold the house 5 years later for a 40% profit, which we rolled into our next primary residence.Deal #4 (2016-present): Invested in MFH Syndication in San Antonio:  I wanted to invest but was busy with 2 kids under 2 years old.  

Please let me know your recommendations how I might be able to partially fix it. thanks

I have several houses that have infinity cash on cash returns, meaning that on my original cash, I paid cash to buy the house, fixed it up, did a cash-out refinance on the property and got all of my money back, and make cash flow.
