Christine knocked it out of the park. And.......
I do lots of these. US real estate is so darn cheap now, the Canadians are buying up the sunshine states and paying cash with rarely a loan. (Their banks are not allowed to get away with as much cr@p as in the US so they are in better shape. Plus the Canadian $ is VERY close to the US buck right now.)
Until a couple of months ago, Hawaii docs were so "hang loose" they were silly. But I would guess some govt agency finally got out there and everything is now tight as it should have been all along.
A few tips:
Most deeds involve an oath on the Ack form. Watch for it.
Hawaii likes black ink.
If there is a blank line for the date on the Deed (or similar - lots of variations in Hawaii) call the TC. You may be required to fill it in.
You'll love these appts. People are so happy to be buying property in Paradise!
Aloha to you as well, future paradise dweller! LauraV |
