特区(DC)首次置业者（FTHB）的定义不但是一个从未拥有住家 （principal residence）房产权 (title) 的第一次买房子的人而且全户每人都符合收入标准。如果很多人一起合买一栋房子，若是想要省转让税（transfer tax）的话，那么每一个人都必须是首次置业者。D.C. Official Code § 42-1101(16)。然而，有一个特殊状况，虽然父母亲不是首次置业者，父母亲和孩子可以当作首次置业者共同申请贷款合买房子。只要父母亲是贷款的担保人（co-maker or guarantor），而且声明父母不会住在孩子这栋新购买的住家（principal residence），这种方式也可以享有省下转让税的优惠。

In a general warranty deed, sellers warrant forever against every lawful claim or demand for all the previous owners up to the sellers, no matter who possessed/owned the property. This type of deed is rarely used. For example, you bought a house in 2011 from seller A, who had bought the house from builder B in 2010. In 2012, the county notified you that the 2009 property tax had not been paid. If you had received a General Warranty Deed from Seller A, then Seller A had warranted to you that there were no encumbrances against the property that were not listed in the deed. So unless the deed specifically indicated that the property was conveyed to you "subject to" the 2009 unpaid taxes, you should be rest assured that Seller A owes you the money for the unpaid taxes.

Did you know unpaid HOA dues can stop your closing entirely? And paying them off is just step one.

If the lien was recorded in the court records, the HOA or their attorney also has to file a formal release. Getting a payoff figure, coordinating payment, and waiting for that release to be filed and recorded can add days or even weeks to your timeline.

Flag any HOA balances before you go under contract. Not the week of closing.

可以的。这个案子是一位丈夫准备再贷款(Refinance) 三十八万元顺便把新婚的妻子加入房产证。如果这栋房子是在巴尔的摩市(Baltimore City)的话，不论有无套现(cash out), 巴尔的摩市要求缴交的城市转让税(City Transfer Tax)是等于50％*再贷款额三十八万元*税率。速洽如果您有进一步的问题。

Think a cash closing means no title company needed?

That is one of the biggest misconceptions I see.

Cash deals do move faster and require less paperwork, but a title search, deed preparation, and recording still have to happen. And skipping owner’s title insurance on a cash deal means if a title issue surfaces after closing, there is nothing protecting you.

Cash or financed, we handle the full process from start to finish.

“Do I own the house now?” It is one of the most common questions I hear at the closing table.

The honest answer is, almost. Signing the deed is step one. But your ownership is not officially on the public record until that deed is recorded with the county land records. In Maryland that typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks after closing.

We handle the recording process from start to finish on your behalf so you never have to worry about it.

The method to transfer complete ownership of a house to anyone or to give ownership to co-own a house is by preparing a deed to record at the Land Record Office. There are many different types of deeds among which a general warranty deed, the special warranty deed, and the quitclaim deed are most prevalently used. The major difference among them is the scope of warranties to the title, where the general warranty deed makes the broadest warranties and the quitclaim deed making none. All the types of deeds transfer property equally effectively with the same speed and ease.

Did you know title insurance has limits on what it actually covers?

Most people sign for it at closing without ever reading what is and is not included. Some of the major covered items include unknown liens, fraud or forgery in the chain of title, and errors in public records. Some of the major exclusions include issues you created after ownership, zoning violations, and environmental hazards. Every policy is different, so always review yours.

There are also two types. The lender’s policy protects the bank. The owner’s policy protects you. If you only have one, make sure you know which one it is.

假如你正在办理离婚，而你和你的配偶共同拥有的房子的房贷 (mortgage) 却只有你的配偶的名字，如果你想独自拥有这栋房子除去你的配偶的房产权 (title)，第一，你通知贷款公司申请接管（assume）房贷。第二，准备好房地契 (deed) 把房子从你和你的配偶 (tenants by the entirety) 转让给你一人（sole owner）。这种方法是対双方都有好处的。因为你的配偶从此以后与这栋房子的任何财务责任或纠纷完全无关。这当然包括所有的土地税收(property tax)。而你也不用担心你的配偶会回头来再找你抢房子。你说不定都还能修改贷款降低付款。

Can someone sign your closing documents if you cannot be there? A Power of Attorney closing might be the answer, but most people do not know the rules around it.

A POA closing requires advance approval from your lender and title company. Not every lender allows it, and those that do have very specific requirements about how the POA must be drafted and signed.

If you know you cannot make it to closing, flag it immediately. The earlier everyone knows, the smoother it goes.
