It has taken 8 years to remove a fraudulently recorded deed of reconveyance and some serious legal work. 

In fact, I can't think of any other advisor I've ever met.And make sure to check their FINRA record on Broker Check...It's suprising how many people go around calling themselves financial advisors without even registering with FINRA...

You also get to see owner info with this as well since it's public record.

As long as the lien against the property is recorded, there are no seasoning requirements for a refinance, with no cash back.If you are looking to get cash back....And you initially obtained financing, you have to wait 6 months for conventional.

Tips on doing this would be to review his bank records and going forward give customers cash receipts for cash payment.2.

The title company would have already searched the public records.

Making sense of the deal and understanding their track record is important, of course, but I believe you should develop TRUST before you invest.

May I suggest that you research this particular property on the City of Chicago website entitled "Building Permit and Inspection Records" at this link:   https://webapps1.chicago.gov/buildingrecords/Good luck.

Would you just record the deed in their name and when they are old enough they can take the reigns of the investment property? 

That has already happened to a limited degree in some markets where you can no longer deny based on background checks or eviction records.
