We invited Allison McMurter-Hughes from McMurter & Associates to chat about this and title insurance. Maybe home owners were away on vacation, or maybe they moved out to do renos, only to find out that someone forged or copied their ID, got their house listed, usually at a reduced price to encourage a quick sale and sold their house! Sometimes home owners have come home to find strangers even living in their homes! Allison McMurter is here to give us details as to who is more susceptible to this, what can be done to prevent it as well as the benefits of title insurance, but if it does happen what you need to do immediately to correct things. </p> <p> </p> <p>If YOU own properties, especially ones where you are a distance landlord or take vacations away from your properties, THIS is a must LISTEN!</p> <p> </p> <p>Gary and Darlene have a few spots for their one-on-one mentorship program to supercharge your investment game!
