Any attorneys do title? Is it worth it?

Not sure what you mean.

Small title companies can be very lucrative.

Writing title as agent for an underwriter can also be lucrative, although profits there are being squeezed more and more, particularly for sophisticated commercial deals. Still, if you’re on the buy side, you’ll be doing almost all of the work required to issue a commitment and policy anyway.

Yes - the underwriters will require that.

I’d never advise someone to try to do this in their own without experience.
