Title theft
I’ve heard of this issue from the bigger pockets podcast and forums. The easiest way to keep your property title from being stolen is to put a $100 or so lean on the property. Before the title can be transferred the lien holder has to be contacted to make sure thenkein has been cleared. That puts friction in the transaction to slow or stop it.
