Old PM never released documents signed by previous owner. 

HMDA data is released annually. 

You'd then pull a copy of the instrument and review it to decide if the instrument needed to be dealt with prior to closing, say to identify who should sign the deed or who needed to release a mortgage or lien or if it should appear as an exception on the commitment and policy. 

You need to figure out who the lienholder is (it should be listed on the title -- if no title is in hand you'll need to order a duplicate from the DMV/MVA) then obtain a copy of the lien release.

We are investing our money into a few products we are releasing, not house flips

The other issue is that if the ROBS owns the property, how do you release the cash to rollover to an IRA, but that point is really moot.

The IRS just released news they are upping retirement plan contribution limits in 2019 so saving for the long-haul can be super beneficial!

Assuming the lien was properly recorded and is not otherwise excepted or excluded from coverage, I expect the title insurer will attempt to confirm the violation has been corrected and then negotiate a reduction in the lien amount, and if it's less than the policy amount, pay it and obtain a record a release.

Then I saw AirDNA just released an update with new pricing.
