Title Searches for Real Estate Investors

For real estate investors, understanding the various types of title searches is crucial for minimizing risk and ensuring profitable transactions. Different title searches cater to specific needs: two-owner searches provide a comprehensive review of a property's ownership history to the prior owner, uncovering any claims or defects particularly likely after a foreclosure; current owner searches focus solely on the present owner's history, offering a quicker but less exhaustive option; and specialized searches like lien & judgment searches target specific potential encumbrances such as unpaid debts or legal judgments.
