FYI title company prorates prop taxes down to the day at closing; you will never actually be out any more/less money due to when the property tax bill is due.When you sell or buy, you will pay prop taxes for every day you own the home.

For a friend who was trying to sell his land that had an old business on it I caught all of them which is why the developer wanted to bring me on for assembling the other land parcels.Even if some earnest money is non-refundable and it stipulates that in the contract make sure that either your attorney is holding the EM or a neutral title,escrow, or attorney is holding.

it really depends on the circumstances.for instance if you just have one partner then a simple LLC agreement with you both as managing members works.. and then you take title int he name of the LLCif its your intent to get a large number of passive investors to fund these then you need to talk to securities attorney.. each state is different when it comes to these quasi partnerships.

They put together their own promissory note and deed of trust and require that we close at a Title company with title insurance.

I typically see seller to provide a basic owner's title policy.

Looking for a title company that can help me close wholesale deals in Arlington area.Any advice?

Can anybody recommend a title company in this area?

Title search?

I've been working probates for a long time and what you need to understand is the basics of the process and the ability to connect with family members and nurture them until they are ready to sell.Since a deceased person cannot transfer title to you now (absent an estate with a properly executed trust in place) the property will need to go through some form of probate. 

To technical for me I would let the title company work that out unless broker involved he would know.
