If you want to tie all the properties together for some reason, then I think you would want to do a unity of title?

That's middle ground for a service life on those items.And to the question in your title, what is your definition of "best"?

Is it best to approach a title company about doing a search and making sure the property would be eligible for title insurance?  

In other words, they can't "launder" their title by washing it through a foreclosure and then redeeming and paying only the auction price.If the bank still owned the property, and there was a balance due on the note for after the foreclosure, the redeeming party would redeem from the bank and have to pay the full balance on the note, not just the auction bid price. 

There are companies that have property managers and then some who have opted to title these roles "portfolio managers" (managing one client's investment property portfolio perhaps), ranging from 50 to 200+ properties.

Would anyone in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area be able to kindly recommend a title and escrow company to me that handles assignment contracts ?

You can't "feel" the property or the neighborhoods identity through a spreadsheet.

That being said I have decided that I'm going to start a property management company.Now as the title says where do most PMs fail.

And I can't believe I can't say I have the tax lien and am about to foreclose and would rather pay them then the courts if they aren't going to redeem and want to quit title.  

Schiano Do you realize if you do this yourself you will not be able to get title insurance?
