I have always seemeed to work best when self-employed and think I have found a good niche.
As I have already told a few of you directly, I started doing title examinations for insurance companies today. Title insurance is different from most insurance. Most insurance protects against things that occur in the future. Tiltle insurance protects against the past. As an examiner, I will mke sure that there will be no way for someone to sue a property owner for the validity of the deed.
I did two titles today. One was very simple and straight forward. The other was a true baptism by fire. This single piece of property had 7 mortages on it from 1979-2006 with the same two ladies deeding it back and forth for each mortgage under 5 variants of their names. 3 of the mortgages got bought by other mortgage companies. I had to find each deed, mortgage, discharge of mortgage, assigment of mortage, check for errors in them, and photograph them all
This service will be done for a flat rate per property unles there is one that is even hairier than today's in which case I will be able to add a surcharge to the research.
