Meetup.com or the Events tab would be the bet resource for you. 

Not to mention a couple of $4.00 coffees a day and no clue what brown bagging is.I'd bet that most college grads spent more time learning the ins and outs of student loans than budgeting and financial planning.

Your best bet is to use an agent, but sign an agreement with them agreeing to pay their commission.

I plan on keeping it forever as a rental so I didn't care.I can clean up the title later if I choose to.Exactly until you get a title report  or prelim title report or title commitment whatever moniker they use there.. its just all guessing that title is clouded.. plus a recorded purchase from 2 or 3 years ago.. i bet will easily be removed by a new insurer.
