Thanks for the welcome Will.

By the way, you can't really search title through the assessor's web site, that's not what its for. You can only really search the title through the Clerk of the Court or the Recorder of Deeds office. Whoever is charged with keeping the official records in the state and county you're in.

Scott,

What your asking about is "notice" and there's two kinds. Actual and constructive. If the deed is of record then the world has constructive notice of it whether you know about it or not. If the deed is not of record but you know about because someone told you about it you have actual notice. Depending on the state you're in it may or may not impact your ability to take title free and clear of its effect.

Running title by yourself is a tricky thing to do even when you know what you're doing.

Helllo everyone, I'm Peter from Virginia. Just found this web site and am looking around. I've been in title insurrance for 20 years and am tired of seeing others making money and thought I'd see if I could do it to. I've got lots to learn but think it should be interesting.
