What to Watch in Second-Hand Home Deals: Title, Contract, Funds and Taxes

In a second-hand home deal, first verify the title, whether there is a mortgage or seizure, co-owners, household registration and tenancy, then sign a proper contract specifying price, payment, transfer, delivery, liability and household-registration removal, use escrow for large sums, and clarify taxes and agent fees. Use a professional title search when needed, and follow the written contract and proper process.
