Episode Details

Dru Wischhover breaks down what title insurance actually covers, the fraud patterns targeting investors, and what kills deals at the closing table.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Dru Wischhover, owner of a boutique title company and development firm, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of real estate investing — title insurance.

Dru covers:

1. The difference between an owner's policy and a lender's policy — and why investors often skip the wrong one
2. Why title insurance covers the past, not the future (and why that matters)
3. Two real fraud cases: a deceased man's signature forged on a deed and a $275K property sold out from under an elderly widow
4. The $500,000 bounced cashier's check that cost Dru clients and a builder relationship
5. Why rush closings are a red flag — and what to look for
6. How assumptions, novations, and stacked assignments actually work from the title side
7. What wholesalers get wrong about disclosure at closing
8. The three things every investor should do to ensure a smooth close
9. Why Dru includes attorney access in his title work — and how that protects investors
10. How he's expanding into Indiana and what the scale-up bottleneck taught him
11. His Heroes Helping Heroes nonprofit launching in 2026

This episode is for:

1. Wholesalers, flippers, and buy-and-hold investors who want to close clean
2. Investors who've been burned by a deal falling apart at the table
3. Anyone who's ever wondered what a title company actually does for them
