Hi John, if the seller's title company is the most reputable in the area and you have an open line of communication with them, when the listing agent, seller's lawyer, and title company have told me there are no liens it's clear, and I can give the title company the liens exceptions list from auction.com "Most liens are removed after a foreclosure property sale, but certain liens may remain.Here are some examples:Any lien recorded on title prior in time to the foreclosing mortgage.First Mortgage (if the foreclosing mortgage is a second or third mortgage)HOA or COA assessment liens (in certain states)Mechanic’s Liens (in some states)Government liens such as state and federal tax liens, city or county liens, US Government liens.IRS liens (IRS may buy the property within 120 days after sale at the price paid at foreclosure sale)Code Enforcement Liens, Environmental Liens, and Utility LiensChild Support Liens"to make sure the title insurance would have coverage for these exceptions, the list from auctions.com, would it still very worrisome to use their title company?

@Dmitriy FomichenkoMy pleasure, sir .Thank you for your support. 

Did you vet that they were a specialist in real estate when hiring him/her.If you are both arguing on a specific topic, you both can go through the tax codes, treasury regulations to provide support of why one is right / wrong.Section 469 discusses passive activities.Best of luck.

But now that I'm back to work I'm pretty nervous about trying to pursue this new career since I have a family to support and bills to pay.

Forgetting that their research did not support the higher rent price when they originally evaluated the deal.

Again, thank you all for the wonderful feedback and support!

Marketplace has been great for traffic and volume (and honestly the traffic supports our website SEO, too), but the quality of the those exploring is predictably lower than the Zillow syndicated sites and other.

My BAH rate as of January 2023 in California will support the purchase of a new property.

I want to make the jump in to my journey to financial freedom but it’s scary especially when you have a family to support.

Take into account if the properties current rental income can support the listed purchase price and new taxes/insurance.
