Issue a Deed of Trust

Hello REIClub,

I have a situation where I don’t know if it is legal or not (and Pre-Paid Legal won’t get back to me until Monday).

Here it is: If I am to pay someone’s reinstatement fees to avoid foreclosure in Maryland, do I have a right to record a Deed of Trust on the property or is drawing up a Deed of Trust acting as a lender?

I have a situation where I want to invest in this pre-foreclosure property. However, I want to stay within my legal limits.

This is not my first investment by far, but I also thought that an answer would not only help me, but help the whole REIClub Community.

Thank you.

You are turning to the right place by calling an attorney, that’s my opinion, because this could be shakey ground.
