Performance Title.

I don't believe in incentives, I take a scope, perform it, get paid, move on.

@Tracy Royce  in this business if your doing any volume your dealing with one or two of these a year.Always tough.. although what I finanally learned is that it rarely gets better you just need to bite the bullit and follow the letter of the law.NOt sure about protected class. but I have one right now in my market that could go that way.it took me 18 months to close and it was my first suit for specific performance in 42 years in the business... phase two is to move this person out.its a city lot the house was so bad I paid over 60k in city code enforcement fines to close escrow. that's just the fines folks..

(this is not advised)Some of the windows were newer so I only had to replace a couple windows upstairs and the basement.

A good real estate attorney that has experience with investors in many states could actually advise you on this.

@Ryan Klemetson I skip the lawyer most of the time in IL (you must have one in IA, and I review my own contracts and then close at the title company and have them perform the title search, rather than paying the lawyer to do it.

Here you go, as suspected for a while now, EquityBuild, EquityBuild Finance, Jerry Cohen and Shaun Cohen received on Aug 15th a complaint for running a Ponzi scheme from the SEC and all their assets are in the process of being frozen.Fraud smells extremely strong and I would advise to stay away from ANY activity with them.

But you need an attorney to advise you on legal title and the court matters you have discussed.  

Having said that, I have a self-directed IRA and am using it to invest in performing promissory note (Some education on performing notes).
