Investor Services

As an investor friendly title company, Marina Title works with investors of all stripes, including developers, wholesalers, rehabbers, buy-and-hold investors, and private and hard money lenders. We provide closing, escrow and settlement services, title searches, lien mitigation services, and title insurance to provide our investor clients with the clarity and confidence they need to move forward with their investment. 

We understand that thorough due diligence and a comprehensive understanding of title, ownership, tax, and legal issues are foundational to the success of any real estate investment. That is why the attorney-owned and operated team at Marina Title leverages its substantial resources, decades of title expertise, and a team of title and legal professionals committed to our clients’ success to quickly and efficiently identify potential problems that could threaten a closing transaction. We move promptly and decisively in our efforts to resolve any ownership or title concerns, mitigate liens, and deliver clean title. Our closing services for investors focus on consummating their transactions without delay or avoidable stumbling blocks.   

We provide a wide range of title, escrow, settlement, closing, and related services for real estate investors throughout the State of Florida, including:

• Handling assignment closings and double closings
• Obtaining lien and title searches
• Examining the property’s title
• Preparing and issuing title insurance

Our team of legal and title professionals also specialize in short sale negotiations, purchases of foreclosure and other distressed properties, and real estate owned (REO) transactions. We are well-versed in handling closings involving estate and probate properties, including clearing title issues related to probate. Our experienced on-staff probate attorneys are also available to handle the probate estate administration.

Marina Title is also proficient in assisting investors with 1031 exchange transactions, which is an IRS tax code that allows investors to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of their investment properties. For foreign investors, we have substantial experience with the unique legal and financial issues involved in such cross-border transactions, including representation for closings that involve the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA).

Tailored Services for Wholesalers & Rehabbers

At Marina Title, we recognize that investors focused on wholesaling and rehabbing have unique needs and concerns. Tight deadlines of most wholesale contracts require quick and trouble-free closings, which can only occur if title to the subject property is free and clear of any problems—such as liens, creditor judgments, missing deeds, and various other hazards—that can negatively impact the transaction and the end buyer.  

The investor-friendly title services we provide take into account every aspect of the wholesale and rehab process. From assisting with contracts and assignment agreements, to arranging for transactional funding (or a private loan) and handling double closings, our real estate and title professionals have what it takes to get your deal closed in an efficient and smooth matter. We will also get all the relevant paperwork in order, carefully exam title, draft an effective title insurance policy, and work hard to ensure that the assignment or double closing is conducted smoothly and efficiently.

Developer Services

Our team of title professionals, including Marina Title’s attorney owners and operators, have substantial experience representing developers, owners, and lenders with the acquisition, sale, permitting, development, and leasing of residential, commercial, and industrial real estate projects throughout Florida. We work closely with our developer clients on all types of development projects, including single-family homes, multifamily buildings, office buildings, shopping centers, hospitals and medical offices, industrial properties, hotels and restaurants, warehouses, residential and commercial condominium developments, and mixed-use projects. For more information, please visit our Developer Services page.
