i had to provide car titles to all the vehicles i owned and prove that they were insured. 

Does the title company handle the redemption?

The only time I typically see permits checked during a closing is by the title company when they run a lien search, and that's just to confirm there are no open permits that have not been closed out by a final inspection.Also, many interior renovations do not even require a permit (plumbing, electrical, windows, and structural changes certainly do, but not cosmetic stuff such as flooring, cabinets, countertops, painting, light fixtures, etc).My point being, refinancing may be a viable option (it sounds like you were already thinking along those lines).

After you listen to a few you start to hear a trend in titles mentioned.

I'm a newbie,  I'm looking at a online auction property and I notice on the title info a judgement liens as such:JUDGMENT AND LIEN INFORMATION:1.FORECLOSURE DEED NOT ON RECORD AT THIS TIME,NEED COMPLETED PRIOR TO RESALE.2.DEED OF TRUST IN BOOK3.

Ask Lenders this question:- If I come up with the cash, and title transfers to me, can I apply for "delayed financing exception" up to the full purchase price (so long as it appraises for 140%+ of my purchase price) - without waiting six months?

Here is the situation:Local bank --  they keep all paper in-houseWill do 80% LTV on 5/1 ARM with 20 year AmortAs long as the purchase price is less than the town assessed value (this was way less) they did their own "Property Evaluation" (no cost)Although I submitted paperwork the process wasn't anything near normal...we really about 1 week + whatever time it took for the title company to complete the search and we were ready to close...had to wait on HUD of course but we were ready

Unless you're Licensed to broker RE, or are already named on the property TITLE, don't use Contracts that allow you to assign to someone else before closing, because the Ohio RE Regulators have dissallowed that practice in Ohio for everyone else.

Hello BiggerPocket Family,The subject title says it all but I am pretty sure there is going to be mixed reviews in regards to it.

Thank you * sorry for the terrible title I cannot figure out how to edit it
