February 28, 2024 by Kyle Sennott Leave a Comment

We’ve written several detailed articles on why it’s important to invest in real estate using an LLC. Actually, it doesn’t matter much whether you are investing in the name of an LLC or any other type of business entity. What’s important is that you don’t invest in your personal name. Why?

Title Defects in Real Estate Investing

February 5, 2024 by Kyle Sennott Leave a Comment

Defects in the title of a residential property refer to any issues or problems that affect the legal ownership or rights associated with the property. Such defects result in what is called a “clouded” title. The opposite of the clouded title is a “marketable” or “clear” title, which refers to a title free from reasonable doubt or defects.
A marketable title reduces the legal risk associated with the property in several ways. First, it assures the buyer that the seller has a legal and undisputed right to sell the property. It also gives buyers confidence that they are acquiring a property without hidden claims or encumbrances, minimizing the likelihood of future legal challenges. If you plan to finance the property with a lender, all lenders, including hard money lenders, will require a marketable title before providing financing. A clear title assures them that the property is sufficient collateral for the loan, reducing the lender’s risk.
