I could find him variously in the Recorder's records as "Linh Trin", "Linh Trinh", "Lin Q Trinh" and "Linh Q Trinh". : Then there is the problem of extremely common names like "Jose Gonzales" or "Bill Smith" which will have lots of results for different people, all mixed together. : How do you untangle this? I suppose you could print all the documents at $1.00 a page, and study them quietly at home, but that gets expensive fast. And it still seems to be it would be confusing to identify who-is-who. Is there a point where you just say "This deal is too complex, forget about it..." =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= Sean, With common names we find it useful lots of times to research the title record in the name of the husband or wife of our original target, especially if the spouse has a distinctive enough first name. And perhaps you were unaware that you can get all of the copies of the recorded documents free, just for the asking, from the Customer Service department of a local title company. No need to spend a $1.00 per page for any of that stuff they’ll fax you free!! Hope this helps.
