If I get him to finance part of it, would he hold on to the title until I finish paying off the mortgage with him or would I receive the title upon completig the deal.Thanks again.

If you are referring to escrow in terms of buying a property, and you want to know what the title company is going to charge then you need to get the netsheet from them.

It's easy up here just go down to property apraiser and fill out a form, they don't require a survey or any title work, assuming similar in gainsville.  

You have some good advice so far, go with it and try to contact the owners.Your title mentions subject to.  

Only considered a repair if the new flooring is installed on top of the badly stained carpet as stated in your title!  

And finally what is a title company and how do I find one so I can close on a deal?

I might even write a contingency clause into the offer requiring the seller to pay for any code violations resulting from the CCI.Fortunately or unfortunately, unrecorded code violations are not considered encumbrances on title, so CCI and RRP issues will not prevent closing.

The title company wired all the funds to my name vs. splitting accordingly.Example #s)My tax burden: $10,000 Profit - $3,000 Partner = $7,000 my taxable income x 30% = $2,100. 

You don't have legal title, and push come to shove in order to win standing you'll be paying some bucks to an attorney...thoughts on that?

The title said discussion from VA.
