TE,
Before trying this, I would intern at a title company for a while. Have you sat through an FHA or VA closing lately? The stack of paperwork is about 2-3" thick on the simplest deals. Those are the easy ones. I've heard stories about one of my favorite closing officers having to literally strong arm the greedy gut relatives out of the room at a closing of their deceased mother's (grandma,aunt,etc.) property. Ex spouses (or soon to be) trading more pot shots and such over the table. 'I'm not signing that ____ thing! That's not what we agreed on!"
My personal faves are when the buyers get surprised with an entirely new and improved HUD-1. Slimy mortgage company at the last minute decides to throw in a few extra points, fees, hike the rate.....It's grueling. Either the folks sign the junk deal, or quite possibly lose the house. The closing officer frantically calling the lender, "Yes, I'm sitting here with Mr. and Mrs. Smith and they are telling me this loan package is not what they'd been offered..."
Some are slam dunks, many aren't. This isn't a job for the faint of heart. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, in fact, you may already be aware of the possibilities I've mentioned. Just be prepared. These folks get paid well for a good reason.
