Hi everyone,
I bought a property through tax sales in CA at the end of 2016. It has been a year and the statue of redemption has expired. I am trying to sell the property. But I am having issue finding a title insurance company that is willing work with me. Can anyone recommend me a company?
The title co.s can tell you what you need to do to get marketable title.....likely involves a waiting time requirement and/or a quiet title action. State laws vary.

Keith, there’s a company called ‘Tax Title Services’ out of California who will do a deep dive title search on the county FC process and, based on their findings, have affiliate title insurance companies who will then issue title insurance. It’s not a quick or cheap process, but could serve as an alternative to a quiet title actions in states where the legal process is onerous. I haven’t used them myself yet so I can’t recommend them personally, but they were recommended to me and I’m in a similar situation to you so I’m researching all my options.
I thinking of using Tax Title Services out of California myself. I have a property that I purchased from a tax sale that I want to either sale or pull cash out to fix and rent.
