Oh...and for the record...since I never got around to saying it in my last post...this would be an awesome idea @Glen Beringer.

The bulk of the costs are all the many vendors: appraisal $700 underwriting/processing $1000 settlement $500-600 title -guess not knowing location $400-600 notary $200 recording $50-100 transfer tax unknown $ varies greatly $40 CPL $70 wire   then points or a prepay

I know I'll take a hit on the house but it's not worth feeling unsafe.

I have a property management company out of Fort Worth, TX that is almost worthless. 

By maintaining detailed records, you can guarantee accountability, monitor progress, and establish a dependable reference for future decision-making.

Hi all,New to the forum and have been doing plenty of reading through other threads, but have a bit of a unique situation I'd like to get some takes on.My wife and I currently own a house worth about $750k with a remaining mortgage of $240k.

Once the owner(s) of record are determined the title company would reach out for seller identification (and death certificates for any deceased owners).You'd be surprised how many contracts get signed without all of the owners.

This will help ensure positive cash flow from the start.Although section 8 comes with some stigma, figuring out how to get approved for section 8 is well worth the trouble.

Yes many deals turn out negative in today’s market but that is a reflection of greedy owners who are selling thinking their properties are worth millions and interest rates being too high.

This will list, in chronological order, all liens and judgments recorded against the property.
