Typically, the county recorder is the repository for recorded deeds, voluntary liens such as mortgages or trust deed and involuntary liens such as tax liens, code enforcement liens and general liens which are not property specific like abstracts of judgment (AJ) which are linked by grantor-grante index.95% of would-be real estate investors drop out because they are not willing to study, learn and apply title knowledge.

However, a common theme that keeps popping up in the literature, interviews, and general knowledge that many real estate investors and successful business people seem to share is a desire to share their knowledge.Now, I can't speak for @JohnFedro or anyone offering courses/ lessons/ coaching (and I invite them to respond), but I imagine the desire to teach can be just as satisfying (if not more so) than making more money/ deals when you've accomplished your initial goals of becoming financially "sucessful".Additionally, even from a purely financially self-seeking standpoint, offing coaching, especially when it involves partnerships, has incredible benefits.Consider Grant Cardone's 10x philosophy.

@Ericka Grant Why would you sell it below market value and not for market value?

Private lenders, rehabilitation loans/grants, refinance options?

Rob - when I first got to Fresno about 16 years ago - I noticed that the market was so low compared to so cal  - it was LITERALLY two for one houses for sale and I purchased my first property shortly after and it was  a duplex  for 110K in a decent area - granted, I was paying 11% at the time but I was stoked cause I was 28 and owned two houses and was positive cash flowing ( technically had to pay about $200 of my mortgage , but come on...just moved out an apartment I was paying $850 for )  That was when I realized that Fresno was ripe with opportunities.  

Granted that is a low call rate, but it could just be the timing of the first one.  

The special use permit, when first granted, may be issued for a maximum of 2 years.Upon reapproval, the Board of Zoning shall determine a time limit, if any.10.

Code § 1701j–3 - Preemption of due-on-sale prohibitionsSee the exceptions(d) Exemption of specified transfers or dispositions With respect to a real property loan secured by a lien on residential real property containing less than five dwelling units, including a lien on the stock allocated to a dwelling unit in a cooperative housing corporation, or on a residential manufactured home, a lender may not exercise its option pursuant to a due-on-sale clause upon— (1) the creation of a lien or other encumbrance subordinate to the lender’s security instrument which does not relate to a transfer of rights of occupancy in the property; (2) the creation of a purchase money security interest for household appliances; (3) a transfer by devise, descent, or operation of law on the death of a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety; (4) the granting of a leasehold interest of three years or less not containing an option to purchase; (5) a transfer to a relative resulting from the death of a borrower; (6) a transfer where the spouse or children of the borrower become an owner of the property; (7) a transfer resulting from a decree of a dissolution of marriage, legal separation agreement, or from an incidental property settlement agreement, by which the spouse of the borrower becomes an owner of the property; (8) a transfer into an inter vivos trust in which the borrower is and remains a beneficiary and which does not relate to a transfer of rights of occupancy in the property; or (9) any other transfer or disposition described in regulations prescribed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.

But the ability to move homes in and out should not be affected if it was a mobile home park prior to the zoning established for the parcel.The city can confirm, but if they tell you that the park is illegal you will need to find historic pictures proving it has been an MHP prior to city zoning, in which case nonconforming would be granted.  

Granted, you can have neighborhoods or cities or times that get hot but thats speculative.  7.
