Q. I would like to know where I can learn how to do title searches for real estate properties? Anyone know of any school or training? I have seen several on Internet, but I want to know if they are reputable. Thanks!
A. Searching a title is not difficult. Going to school is not necessary. If you have found a site about researching land titles, and it tells you that you need to pay them for training - DON'T!
There ARE reputable sites out there that willl help you do title abstracts more concisely and efficiently. You can also get most of the help you'll need from the Registry of Deeds employees.
Law firms or other real estate closing agencies, such as Title Insurance companies, will usually allow/assign you to work on a few titles with an experienced abstractor.
I'm sure you will find that this work is not difficult. There is a page on my site that explains the process (URL below.)

A. I'm not a title abstractor, but do work for a real estate vendor management company and have dealt with many title abstractors when I was a Data Editor. I've only heard of 2 reputable websites to learn everything you need to know about title searching: http://www.alta.org and http://www.mbaa.org.
You can also perhaps go to your local library or a bookstore and see what kind of books you can find about the topic.

What are the steps in investigating a property for sale?
Q. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what steps I can take to do an investigation of real estate property I want to buy? For back taxes, liens, etc.
A. Normally, you would have a lawyer do most of that for you. Although your real estate agent can help too. A lawyer will do a title search and any liens, etc. would show up. I don't see how you would be responsible for back taxes, unless this is a foreclosure and their are some stipulations. If you are buying from the current owner, then they are responsible for taxes. You real estate agent, if you are using one, should do a lot of the homework for you too.
Are there any good sites that you can search for real estate properties anywhere in the US all at once?
Q. I am open to moving anywhere and don't want to have to do many area searches.
www.realtor.com doesn't work cause you can't search by USA, it has to be narrowed down which I don't want to do.
