**HELP** Recording a deed from out of state

[Justin Young]

Aloha BP!

I've been interested in a strategy drawn out by @Andrew Postell utilizing a loan from your LLC, purchasing your rental property, then refinancing with a conventional lender. That was very simplified but basically when the lender runs title, they see that their was a previous loan thus bypassing the 6 month waiting period. My question is has anyone here been able to record a deed at the courthouse while being an out of state investor? Is this something that can be done online? Thanks in advance.

I've only drafted for and recorded in my own state, but I know title co's record or at least get it to the county electronically.  Are you operating in a title co state?  No way counties allow random people online to record stuff.

Language and customs of DofTs/mortgages vary by state, so make sure yours looks right.  Call around to title co's and see if they can get this recorded for you. You may also be able to snail mail it to the county.  My attorney does that. Include a check for the exact amount, payable to the xXxX county auditor (here). I'd call the county your property is in and ask the recording dept.
