Do both 50/50 sides of family have to be involved in the transaction?

We are in the process of buying another SFR and the deadline for completing our transaction is St.

I do enjoy working with my hands and using tools (I guess this just makes me man *thumps on chest*), I have volunteered at Habitat for Humanity and 8 hours always seems like 1 hour.GoalsI want to reach a point where I can have positive cash flow and leave the chain that is currently attaches my ankle to my cubicle.  

@Wayne Brooks  Out our way Attorneys are last resort.. this person would be best served to simply go to the title and escrow company and sit down with the escrow officer and title officer and walk through the transaction it will be free and they will know as much if not more than any attorney who would have to charge billable hours to get up to speedIn these little SFR transactions very few folks use attorneys for title issues ... they use them for contracts and other issues. but title companies here are the ones you deal with when it comes to these pedestrian liens and encumbrances.

Some title insurance companies will insure the A-->B transaction, but not the B-->C.

Can you say daisy chain?

Last word of advice (and I apologize for the lengthy rant) but probably the most important thing I have learned about real estate investing is to be a "transaction engineer".

When it comes to closing a real estate transaction in the state of Illinois you will need to use a title company and the title company will perform all the title searches and provide title insurance for the transaction.  

I know some people (some are good friends of mine that I respect) teach this type of transaction, I personally feel it muddles the water, and is overcomplicated. 

I have no perspective from that side of the transaction and would appropriate any help/tips.
