I’ve done it for some time now and it’s a waste of time.

If you want to do a cursory search just to see if it appears there are a lot of things that may effect title so you don't wast time I understand it, but to rely on it to unconditionally commit money I believe is risky.

I'm encouraging seller-financed noteholders to consider small partials as a way to raise cash. 12 - 24 months on 60+ outstanding payments will result in a minimal discount because, in the most common partial scenario, the buyer is buying near term payments and taking less equity risk.

To do otherwise wastes everyone's time, creates bad feelings and rarely gets a deal done.

Hello everybody,I'm working on a 2 bedroom 1 bath 1945 built Texas house , when I bought it I had the intention of changing the layout since it’s  in my opinion has a very big design issue with a lot of wasted living space due to the bathroom being between  the living room and kitchen, leaving a very small living room, what I currently want to do is convert the interior to open floor design and convert what is labeled as FAMILY in the picture below to a 3rd bedroom and a bath, I'm  trying to find the best design with least amount of construction since my budget is not very high, also I'm  trying to stay within the standards to be able to sell the house with no issues, I  started working with a Draftsman which he provided few suggested layouts but each one of them has it’s negatives which is why I’m asking for your great advice on which layout to go with and what to change before starting the actual work, below are the existing and suggested layouts, please share your opinions and ideas.The house is supposed to be 1100 SQ-FT not including the Family room I added the survey too for more clarityBelow are the suggested layouts and I'm sharing my opinion on each one of them This one looks goo except the things I'm not sure about is it's okay not to have an entry way ?

A bit of time air sealing and adding insulation as much as possible will go a long way to minimize system costs.

That being said, there are a ton of people that pretend to act as a "matchmaker" (mostly brokers) but these people tend to simply insulate you from the better deals and waste a lot of opportunity.

The banks have so many regulations to prevent exactly this - you are wasting your time.

You are welcome to try them out but it could end up being a waste of time if they are not working property.

I’m actively working on automation and an employee base to minimize that affect, but I still know there will be cost.
