One of the major risks and especially in a high priced market like So cal.. is if this is a cash sale as many are and the wholesaler is making an assignment fee on the settlement statement cash buyers do not realize they do not have title insurance for the assignment fee.so in practice you have a 800k as is sale wholesaler making 50 to 100k ( pretty common in high priced markets) being the nature of the beast you now find out you have a buggered title and make a claim.. title insurer is only going to pay the underlying contract price your going to EAT the 50 to 100k and if you think the nice wholesaler is going to send you back that money I have a bridge to sell you :).
