Do other cash investors buy title insurance or skip it?

If you are looking o have a combination play of small cash flow ( or perhaps negative cash flow) with expectations of appreciation, along with the ammortizationa dan depreciation benefits, then single family may be the better vehicle.My very first investments were single fa,I,y rentals out of state and if I had to do it all ove again knowing then what I know now, I would have skipped that and gone straight to large multi family deals and partner with other investors and operators in that space.

I am currently working a deal with a good friend and it's easy to get into a handshake deal and skip something in that situation.

If you want to hit people your competitors are giving up on though you could use a skip trace service to track down the correct info for that person. 

go to town hall. find the bulletin board where they post upcoming auctions (mandated by law) and sift through the unorganized postings and find addresses in the neighborhoods you are looking for -you can see which attorney is representing the auction. give them a call and they will tell you the date and time the auction is scheduled for.Or skip the trip to the bulletin board and go to:auction.comforeclosure.comthey tell you the debt collector too and the date and location of the auction.

You have to press Edit which takes you to the first page which is pretty much static information that you then need to skip to the next screen.

@Caroline Ortego You may inadvertently become a super-star if you are really an effective skip tracer.Of course, finding the target us only part of the battle.When I actively worked deceased owner pre-trustee sales, I hired PI's to find my targets and then I'd contact by mailing FedEx proposal and follow up on the phone.

If your house is fairly easy to figure out, you could probably skip it.Good luck!

I have seen that some landlords have skipped calling the landlords of properties that the applicants rented in the past since their income/expense ratio and credit score looked good.

I used the help of a skip tracer but the address turned out to be false.
