Your title insurance should cover you? When you take a home subject 2…dont forget to pull a lien and encumberance report to find out what is on that title.

CRE:

Here are the specifics of a deal I just closed, in which I need some questions answered.

1] FMV $140K
2] Seller deeded property to me for existing mortgage bal
3] Ran 2 title searches, NEITHER one of them show ANY liens
4] Seller verbally told me she owed $100k to Equity One
5] Title company wrote me a title policy for $140k

What the heck do I do? I mean, I went into this thing assuming there was a $100k 1st, now, after two title searches there are no mortgages recorded, and my title company has even given me a policy for $140k. Can the sellers lender come after me? Can the sellers lender do anything to me. What if I put a new 1st on the property for 80 LTV? What if, what if, what if… What would you guys do?

you had the seller sign an “authorization to release information” form before you took title correct?
why not just call equity one then and request the mortgage info?
