You receive s Certificate Of Title (CT).If a “lien” is not recorded, then it is not a lien on the property, except for HOA debts and county debts (code violations, etc) and utilities.

After my open house today I am going to introduce myself to the surrounding ramshackled half a million dollar hovels in the shadow of the freeway and say that I am part of an online network that helps sellers of properties find investors looking to buy.  

It has everything you need from free online videos and educational courses to having the ability to post blogs and connect with other investors, the possibilities are endless!

I also assume you are living separately, which means even if he agreed, you have twice as many expenses, utilities, rent payments, etc.

You can get them anywhere, including online.

However, if you wanted your tenants to pay those utilities as well, I think you have an easier option without going to the trouble and cost of sub metering. 

Here's the situation:Perousing the internet and MLS I found a very distressed property that had only been online for about 6 hrs and I put in an offer; The issue is, I don't know what the heck I'm doing.

The property has three 2br units and the rents are as follows with tenants paying all utilities but water :Unit 1: 800Unit 2: 750Unit 3: 650(Unit 3 is mine and a room is rented out to a friend) I haven’t received my first water and electric bill for the house lights but those shouldn’t be too excessive.I want to start working on putting together a deal for another multifamily with 3-4 units in about a year.

The advantage of having an up-to-date RE accountant, is that they can help you strategize utilizing tax benefits, that a non-specialist may not even be aware of.

If you say utility bill - easy to photoshop.
