They use First American's Rate card but they're a little more consumer friendly than First American or Chicago Title or Stewart.Citywide has been great for me when it comes to selling anything distressed. 

I had an account with 400 feet of sidewalk that had to be charged every time because it was time consuming. 

And landlords will do the same as every business person does, they will pass along the increase in costs to the consumer.

I restored one of my rental buildings woodwork and although it was  very, very time consuming,  I loved the finished product. 

Some advice; educate your self and consume as much content as you can!

I would avoid using consumer finance companies.

Consumers can go on to Zillow and pull up all the listings from the MLS (unless agent opts out of syncing the property). 

Very time consuming ineffective way to find a motivated seller in my opinion 

It also doesn't help that they tend to consume mass media whose focus is more on the bad rather than the good.

I got interested in Real Estate about a year ago and since then, have been consuming as much information as I can from Bigger Pockets, books, and from professionals in the RE industry.
