We’re writing insurance. If anything comes up, we, as a title company, are liable to pay that, and we have the full accountability.”(7:44 -7:52)• “Get  title insurance. It protects you. It's the right way to go, especially if you're investing and putting your money into a deal. Do not risk your money.” (9:11-9:18)• “I would always ask your title company what do you charge for your legal fees? What do you charge for your escrow settlement fees?” (12:28- 12:35)• “Cryptocurrency and all of the above in reference to Bitcoin and everything else, it's here to stay.  The title industry, which is a very regulated conservative industry, has acknowledged it.”(18:48-19:01)• “You do need a relationship with your title company to understand your business plan and what type of properties you're buying so they can know how to look at the title and how to dissect it for you.” (21:57-22:07)• “The title company is going to be more receptive if it’s a referral from someone who's already doing business with them.” (22:55-23:00)Connect with Rachel:Website: https://www.patriottitletx.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RachelTexasTitleQueen/Instagram: @racheltexastitlequeenTwitter: @TexasTitleQueenResource mentioned: The Secret by Rhonda ByrneMissed InvestHER CON 2022 or just want to relive the experience?
