It only takes most counties a few days to record the deed and normally costs $500 or less.Cheers!

Those will be mostly investor owned, and it often doesn't look all that great, because no one cares....the tenants don't care, the owners don't care and when no one cares....it often looks rougher....more cars, more trash, more weeds, more high grass, more homes that need paint, more untrimmed landscaping, etc.Not easy to do, but you can also look at the tax records....look at mailing address vs property address. 

The land had not been recorded yet, as I’ve been allowed to live on the land free of charge, for the past year.How is the best way to close this deal?

Make sure you have all of your historical financial records, leases, etc. ready to present to a potential buyer.5.

I guess my agent is more focused on meeting my needs, but I also have a track record of closing every deal.

I can set it for how long it records and how often it records for continuous motion, like record 15 seconds, every 2 minutes. 

. #2 Might also be no expense, as I didn't record expenses for paying escrow on my mortgages, just the actual taxes and insurance.Any insightful thoughts out there on this?

I should've of pulled city violation records at the city to negotiate concessions.

That way each property has its own separate books and records, its own insurance, its own bank accounts, resulting in no legal exposure to the other properties, nor co-mingling of funds between properties. 

Take pictures to share and for a record.
