Or if you take title on a quit-claim, you're getting whatever interest that seller had, along with any clouds on that title.Most common way is to have a traditional closing that clears title and pays off any liens, issues a title policy, and gives you true marketable title - that is only encumbered by whatever you have encumbered it with (mortgage, trust deed, UCC 1, Promissory note, etc.)If you don't / can't go through traditional title (say for example, you buy at a tax foreclosure sale), I'd say it's best practice to go through the quiet title process.

Can anyone recommend any Investor friendly title agents and attorneys for me to work with in the Tampa Bay area?

Be careful though as this will void your title insurance policy.  

As far as the title goes, I'm pretty sure that it has to go in your name unless you form a land trust as an LLC naming you as the beneficiary.

And is the property titled in your name or an entity (LLC)?

Hi guys,So I'm incredibly close to locking up my first Owner Finance deal but have questions about approaching my Private Investor for the Rehab costs.Typically I'd say to my investor that they'd be secure by the note on the property but considering the Owner still holds Title in this case, how can I reassure my Investor he can be secured to a point and not in a second lien position.

I plan on setting up an LLC to purchase and hold Title to properties using all cash from the HELOC.  

I have had the process explained to me this way: 2 options1)  Allow six months for title seasoning, then do a rehab loan for up to 80% of the ARV, points and escrow fees the whole deal.2) At closing, have clearly articulated on the HUD-1 report who the GC is and have the funds dispersed DIRECTLY to him/her.
