I have flipped several properties and I want to make sure going forward I am leaving as much on the table as I can.My question is....If I find a buyer not on MLS can I just transfer the deed in my name and get it notarized?  

Or I could ask them to sign a specific (to that property and mortgage) POA and have that notarized. 

But I didn't want to make a mistake on it, and ended up using a title company to prepare, notarize and record.

It's the same for any entity that does mortgage loan servicing -- compare BigBankName Reviews to BigBankName Loan Servicing reviews.The overwhelming majority of mortgages you get from any lender, weather you know it or not, are Fannie or Freddie mortgages.

Visit your local title agent to set up the transaction, to obtain title insurance, to prepare the purchase agreement and get the package notarized and then recorded.

I typed up a deed had the owner sign it at a notary so It could be notarized, filed it with the Register of Deeds and paid off the back taxes.

I’d take a moment to work on mindset.  100k is a great amount of liquidity, if you can access all of it via a HELOC, great if not are you considering a sale?  

So, sellers can also be asked to sign notarized affidavits personally guaranteeing the validity of leases and ledgers.So now, let’s get to the clause to include on your purchase agreement to make sure you get all this information in enough time to review it.Seller(s) agrees to provide the following to the buyer within X days of buyer’s satisfactory inspection, but in any case at least X days before closing: All rental leases, rent ledgers, tenant(s) valid phone numbers and email addresses, rental applications & supporting tenant identification, income and asset information, any documents corresponding to any ongoing legal actions pertaining to the property, leases, service contracts, etc., at least three (3) months of the most recent bank statements for any account(s) rental funds were paid into and any company or corporate tax returns for proof of income and expenses.

He had it notarized and mailed it back to them.
