Ned it may not be a law but the title company can have their own rules and simply not insure them.. nothing says they have to.as Wayne says tons of fraud with Notaries and the east coast leads the nation in title loss's.. according to Pat Stone .. at least that's what he told me at lunch.. just like people get private folks to sign quit claims record them .. and now no one will insure the title going forward.. they don't trust docs that were not prepped by a title company or in your area attorney … I have seen that..

I am sure there are a lot of successful RE agents on this forum and I wanted to see how you got leads?

Can anyone direct me to some website or places , ways to best get leads to call?

I would suggest getting a good attorney who knows how to research and lead you down the right path. 

@Sara Taslitt lead based paint...read up on the laws regarding rentals and lbp in ma.

My fear is that he plans on leading my apartment and will use it as an Airbnb the whole time and rarely, if ever, occupy he apartment.

Learning more about the VA Loan lead me to the idea of purchasing my first investment rental property (buy and hold property) about a month or two before my next deployment.

Before you know it, you'll be testing the paint for lead, the water for arsenic, the air for mold spores, pulling up the subfloor to determine the radon seepage, raking the yard looking for poisonous snakes and camped out with a flashlight and a machete in the yard in the dead of night warding off the threat of a zombie apocalypse while they chat up your other tenants into a class action suit to address your "negligence."

Hi Summer,I am from Houston as well and my primary source for leads is Real Acquisitions.

If you are an out of state investor, buying in this class and rent range in Indy is likely to lead you to a world of hurt.
