Sometimes, they can have a MAJOR impact on a property's boundaries, setbacks, and usability. I had an interesting deal not long ago where we found a hidden easement that my title company completely missed (and it had big implications for a portion of my property that I couldn't use). Whether the easement is from a neighbor, a utility company, or the county road commission, they're always important for a real estate investor to know about, especially if you're planning to develop the land in any way. 0:00 - Intro 0:14 - What is an easement? 0:45 - Where to find easements on a title insurance commitment 1:22 - Requesting copies of the title documents from the title company 1:50 - Example of what an easement (right of way) looks like 2:52 - Another example of an easement 3:44 - The impact an easement can have on a property 4:40 - A hidden easement my title company missed 6:50 - The challenge of searching for a missing easement 8:32 - Finding and understanding the precise terms of an easement 8:49 - Lessons and Takeaways 9:29 - How to look out for easements on-site 10:07 - You can’t always trust your title company Join Our Community!
