What are the steps to buying a property?
Here is the process for buying your properties.
-
Complete your due diligence
-
Prepare the Deed - use LGPass to create your deed.
-
Prepare a short cover letter explaining to the seller that they should have the deed notarized and mailed back to you. Confirm that once the deed is recorded you will send them a payment for $X dollars. This is what we refer to as the [closing packet. If they want payment upfront, you can use a mobile notary from 123notary.com, I would tell them that they would need to pay for that service $100 (reduce the payment by that amount).
-
Only the seller of the land needs to sign the deed because they are the ones giving up their rights to the property. As a result, only the sellers signature needs to be notarized.
-
When you get the deed back, record with the county. You need to be a company to use Simplifile. Not all counties are available, if not call the county recorder and ask them how to record a deed and what the fees are.
-
Once the deed is recorded, send the seller their payment.
-
Start marketing the heck out of the property! Need help with creating the deed in LGPass?
