deliver it in person, take a picture of the clock on your car clock and the front fo the house before you do it,,if possible take an audio recording of giving it to them,,,make sure the person is 18, and its better to give it to one of the tenant on the lease (at least that what I prefer doing)some people will never pick up the mail if something is certified

Who pays the premium is usually by local custom, usuallt one pays for the search the other pays for title coverage.Taxes are pro-rated to the day of closing, you pay yours and they pat thiers, how taxes are collected depends on when you close, like December or in April for example as tax liability can be compensated by credits to the transaction, assumptions of escrows or paid at settlement, which goes to local custom.

Nothing will kill your short term business like bad reviews and some of your best customers are your repeat customers.- Invest in good photos.- Have a good contract but make it easy to read.

I much prefer investors to lenders...

Thank you for your response Travis.We would prefer to not get a completely new loan on the $15,000 balance as That would show as another recent loan taken out and hurt our credit scores, etc.

especially with self capital contribution and with passive partners, I prefer all the profit from capital contribution will not need pay SE tax.

While some HMLs have a repeat customer base, it would be much larger if they could compete in a wider range of borrowers.

I'll be looking mostly at single family homes preferably on the north side of Austin and in the surrounding communities.

I prefer Facebook for the investment analysis, intellectual discussions, and great advice...oh wait, that is BP.

Once you decide on what you believe the value to be, you can submit this (best done with proper evidence such as appraisal by registered appraiser -preferably MAI or SRA) to the title company as a insurance claim.
