There are some extended form policies that might cover a future forged deed, but they cost extra and since title fraud (not theft since you can't lose title based on a forged deed) is uncommon, they're not issued frequently.

Is there anything I can do to push this cost on the tenant somewhere or is this something I have to pay?

Found following information about building permits on City Data: https://www.city-data.com/city/Calera-Alabama.html2022: 125 buildings, average cost: $155,700 2021: 216 buildings, average cost: $156,200 2020: 322 buildings, average cost: $144,500 2019: 213 buildings, average cost: $147,600Regarding Property appreciation: This property was sold last november for 269K and there is a similar property on this street that has been sold for 289k on March 12th that is last month.

Analytical skills and research skills aid greatly in determining costs, value add opportunities, negotiation points. 

An overnight the form and the court costs to the court   They will have the Constable/sheriff serve the tenant and a court date will be set.

If it costs $25,000 for the program, how long will it take to return that vs learning as you go?

(which I like) so I would like someone with local experience rather than be the farthest flung property for a city-focused PM (if they'd even do it) and potentially become neglected or incur higher costs because of distance and/or unfamiliarity.A little help?

  - 2 of 5 year rule on owner occupied allows gains (to a limit) being exempt from gains tax- accelerated depreciation (cost segregation) can further allow writing off the depreciation- this to me is the most crazy of all, at death property value is rebaseline with all gains being forgiven to the heirs.  

Since the property is there, I can only do investor loans in AL, but from a consumer standpoint you can do Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA as a renovation loan where you take the cost of the property plus the cost of the renovations as your purchase price up to the value of an "As-Repaired" appraisal.

If you build a 200 unit location of 10/15/20 drive up access it will be worth $1mm day one above your cost.
