There are even some episodes featuring local Chicago investors.My brother is also in commercial real estate lending for a local commercial investment bank.

We're planning on going there to choose the property but since closing takes a little time, I was wondering how much of the process of buying a property can be done remotely?

Set up your key alerts and check out related discussions by following the links below and use the "search the site" feature as well.Is the property in Australia or the States or elsewhere?

@Joshua Nudell  we actually had one of our new builds in the REality show southern Charm. now it was not a fix and flip... one of the stars of the show actually bought it to live in.. so it was a retail deal.. and they did not ask for anything above and beyond just because we were going to be featured on the show...I don't see at the end of the show.. a list of subs or anything.. kind of like you saw on game shows in the day were at the end credits the suppliers were listed.

First, let me ask you to use the search feature on BP and enter "contract for deed" it will save us (especially me) from retyping hundreds of words.Contract for deed (CFD)s have issues due to several different laws, as well as title matters that have recently developed.

If a preliminary title search I conduct via a public record search shows anything remotely shady, I order a lien and encumbrance (L& E or O&E) report from my title co to be received by e-mail for $80.

Currently, I'm working from one of our metro-Denver offices to (remotely) support a few out-of-state projects.
