New Funding Resources 
In the regular transaction between a seller and a buyer, if a seller fails to deliver a clean title, the contract becomes void. No buyer wants to buy a property with someone’s else debt secured against it. It’s the sellers’ responsibility to satisfy all liens secured against the title they are about to transfer. However, this is not how a foreclosure auction works. The simple truth is that failure to research liens before buying a foreclosure can create numerous problems. Here’s how to do your homework in advance, so you don’t regret making that winning bid.

Title Issues After A Foreclosure Auction
Leo Tolstoy said: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” As a hard money lender with over twelve years of experience, allow me to wax poetic about my area of expertise. All successful rehab transactions are alike; every unsuccessful is unsuccessful in its own way. Today I want to share a cautionary tale of how title issues after a foreclosure auction can impact a deal.

How To Estimate Your Rehab’s After Repair Value (ARV)
If you are a rehabber, one of the skills you need is to be able to estimate your rehab’s after-repair value accurately. It’s essential in understanding your deal’s profit potential. Make a mistake, rely on wishful thinking or count on appreciation and – poof! – you are lucky to get out by the skin of your teeth. If you are planning to work with a hard money lender, your rehab’s after-repair value (ARV) becomes a part of underwriting. Hard money lenders base their loans on the after-repair value and not on its purchase price or as-is value. So another reason to know how to estimate your rehab’s ARV correctly is to know how much of a loan you can qualify for.
How To Determine the After Repair Value Without a Realtor
Let’s not beat around the bush. The best source of real estate information is the Multiple Listing System (MLS). Fortunately for the licensed real estate agents and unfortunately for the real estate investors who are not licensed, only realtors have access to it. The good news is that today you have more information than ever floating around. It might be not as nuanced as MLS’s, however, if used correctly, it can help you determine your rehab’s after repair value without a realtor.
