Title Searching and Other Research

RISMedia.com is an online magazine type site for real estate professionals. This week they ran an article titled “A New Breed of Real Estate Investor: The Value Investor.” While we can definitely inform them that this is far from a “new” breed, it is timely in that the value real estate investor is returning to the market in greater numbers as things improve.

Hi Everyone!

I need a little help here. I understand the formula for putting in offers but have a problem knowing how to find the REO COMPS as easily as I do the ARV COMPS.

I also am having a heck of a time getting a realtor or broker on board to make multiple low offers. It was suggested that I go directly to the listing agents to make them. This seems like it would take a lot of time.

Any suggestions?

How would someone go about determining value on a MF complex when there is nothing else like it at all in the city?...

I have heard and read about investors who will not go and look at a property before running the numbers to see if it is worth their wild. I am confused with this, how can you run numbers if you have not physically seen the property to see where you might be able to deduct from the listing price? Is there someone who can explain the process?

Thanks arod.2

Hi,

During the Weekly Wisdom Video #245, Matt Larson mentioned that he did an earlier video on How to Determine Comps.

Does anyone know which video he is referring to?
Please post the link here. I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks for reading.

I have a lot of respect for title companies. I have found them to be very reliable through the years. They do a great job of getting the papers ready for closing and getting needed research done. The requirements for a title company are very strict in most states. Because of that there are very few errors committed by title companies.

Most title companies will not rush a deal just to make people happy. They know and understand the need to get things right. Remember this the next time someone blames the title company. Remember, they are simply protecting all involved.

How exactly do you preform a title seaech on a property?
Does a title search cost any thing to be preformed? What am i looking for on the title? I apreciate all comments, thanks.

Waiting for your replies guys.

There is an old saying that the difference between a novice and a seasoned investor is the number of scars and bruises you have. While I am much more optimistic than that about life as an investor, I'd like to share something I learned from a challenging experience with a property. "So, see this scar right here? Let me tell you about the battle I had where I got it."
A few years ago, I bought a triplex from another investor. The price was reasonable, I got seller finance with a minimal down payment--the seller was going through a divorce and said he had to liquidate some properties.
After doing standard due diligence, I felt comfortable I was making a solid purchase. At closing, I had a few questions, but nothing was said that raised any concerns on my part.
