Occupancy rate...is that the percentage TIME a property is occupied? I know this may sound silly, but it's ok.

I'm sorry guys, can someone clear some things up for me... Do I have to buy title insurance separately when I purchase a property? My understanding is that it protects from outstanding liens, is that correct? Legally, does it guarantee that a lien holder can't come after me? Thanks

There has got to be a better way, conventional is killing me. oh and by the way I own a 500k house and owe 300k on it. I have a portfolio worth a least 500k, but why should I risk tens of thousands of dollars of my own money. someone talk me off the ledge please I have yet another offer in on a house pending.

I'm in the same boat, my credit score was only 780 though????. I'm taking that home equity and doing a HELOC or negotiating a special deal (lenders are competing for my biz!). Then I'm buying something this holiday season, rehab, and get some positive cash flow going, and then refy cash out as much as possible. Rinse and repeat (I think that's the term, disregard if it's wrong). Best of luck, love to here how things turn out since we are in similar proverbial boats.

How accurate did you find it to be?

Kinda of a silly question, why is it so bad to have to many people living in a property?
