Hi all. I have a wholesale deal under contract, but I'm seeing that title incorrectly shows 2 beds when there are really 3. Seller claims all 3 beds are original & from my inspection, they appear to be original as well. My buyers will still need some documentation though. So the question is- if title's wrong, where can I go next to get the docs that prove the 3 beds are original? I'd guess that I could go to the county- but isn't that where title gets their info from anyway? Seller has their purchase docs but they don't say anything about the number of rooms. Thanks in advance.
I agree with Wayne, legal descriptions do not include descriptions of improvements, title is to the land. You're looking at something else! Not an issue as to title, it may be as to an occupancy permit, start with the zoning office. :)

Hi @William Klawitter I’m resurrecting this post from 9 years ago 😅. I’m under contract for a property that is showing 2 bed /1 bath with the county but there is a 3rd bedroom and it appears to be original to the house. I’m curious if you remember how this situation resolved? We will be doing a fix and flip and 3/1 or 3/2 (if we add a 2nd bathroom) would be a big difference for selling purposes. Thanks :)
