In addition to the conference I've outgrown, I've attended the big OREIA several times as well as the biggerpockets -original- conference a long time ago. 

I rent and really have no desire to purchase in the city because it would be a downgrade of space/neighborhood.

Dealing with a mortgage broker and have reached out to my credit union, but looking for suggestions of trusty brokers that the community has used in the past. 

Instead I would just need to do the title search first, then once I pay the down payment file a memorandum for the amount I paid them, and then record the purchase and sale contract/land contract with the county so it's on record and clouds the title for extra protection.

Thanks for all of the responses. 

I understand how and when to access the cash from a property.
