I’m starting this thread to get some feedback from the BP Nation on what your experiences/opinions as an investor (or soon to be) are regarding this subject.

If you are a real estate agent, etc. there are group policies through the National Association of Realtors, etc.

My question is does a deed of trust need to be filed like a mortgage.

If no probate is required, the heirs could rectify any foreclosure process to keep the home, or sell it themselves.Estates file BK all the time; in probate (no will) or by way of having a trust.

For the one test case I saw Many deeds of trusts and reconveyances.

This would entail a double closing and/or a pass through closing via a trust.

They had plenty of people call them, but I was the first, and he trusted me more., and I got a great deal by scouring online.

Now I can credit him for teaching me the single most important lesson I have learned in this business...DON'T TRUST ANYONE.

What do you think about this article:http://business.theage.com.au/japans-hunger-becomes-a-dire-warning-for-other-nations/20080420-27ey.htmlI've been hearing of limits being placed on rice purchases in parts of California, and friends in the food industry say that their companies (the major food producers) expect prices to climb tens of percent this year alone.Thoughts?

In some places, mortgages are used instead of deeds of trust.
