sounds like you've had a rough time with your land, Golo. Sorry to hear about your troubles.
I think though, that people buying condo units in well run projects by reputable developers face far less possibility of title problems. This isn't to say that there is no chance... just that the chances are less. I'd always advise buyers to use the services of a good lawyer, and maybe possibly title insurance as well. The BIGGEST thing though, is to know who you're doing business with, (agents and owners), and to be sure they are forthright and honest. Common sense and some life experience will go a long way in listening to your instincts when deciding who to do business with.
