I bought my first place in ‘02. It had been land passed down through three generations and I paid cash, but I still bought title insurance. When the lawyer was searching the title, he found that there were two deeds that comprised my property and he combined them to one. When I received my first property tax bill, I noticed that the acreage complied with ONLY ONE of the previous deeds and NOT the total acreage of my present deed. When I went to the court house to get this straightened out it was discovered that the smaller of the previous deeds had inexplicably been “...just dropped.” I had that corrected in short order and my subsequent property tax bills have been correct.

The moral of this story is.....DO NOT TRUST LAWYERS.....DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING!!!!!

That is why the NOTE IS EVERYTHING. It is physical and therefore needs to have a physical note and recording. There is a reason for why the system works a specific way.

After the 60’s, do the Boomers still insist on changing every system they come in contact with? And in so doing, collapse those very systems when they ‘realize’ there were reasons for the system being a certain way? When will we Boomers learn?

Your tagline says it ALL. I wish I would have thought of it.
