Why Abstract Authority is Ideal for Investor Due Diligence?

Due diligence in real estate investing is a critical step that ensures the property is free from legal encumbrances, has clear ownership, and that the investment aligns with the investor’s goals and risk tolerance. A comprehensive due diligence process involves a thorough examination of public records, title history, liens, and property rights. An ownership report serves as a vital tool in this process by providing investors with detailed information about property ownership, encumbrances, and other matters affecting title.
