The simple fact is that the commission on title insurance is 80%. So the insurance really only cost $80 and the title company ran off with $320. As I have noted earlier our mortgage system here was designed by thieves for thieves. In fact I truly believe our whole financial system was designed by thieves.
Whenever you need a broker AND a lawyer to buy a house you're in trouble.

The whole system is rotten to the core.

I'm starting to grow weary. Might just invest in a couple more battle paks of .308's for my H&K.

Things do change, especially when you're not prepared for it.
