Then Di Heaney moved to Noosa and wrote to Lori of the many opportunities in the hospitality business. A lively Lancashire lass with an accent that seems to strengthen as the years roll by, matriarch Lorraine (known as Lori to most and Loz to close friends) had arrived in Perth in 1970 and backpacked her way around Australia and Asia, often working as a waitress to keep the wolf from the door. Jodi loved having fun and she was developing a taste for expensive clothes and other creature comforts, but her friends say that there was no indication of an obsession with money nor any evidence of her bending the rules to get it. Others say that they worried that the couple were financially over-extended, which was possibly why one of them offered Jodi a part-time job helping keep the books at Noosa’s new “it” restaurant, Bistro C. The Cashmores rented before coming to rest in the new estate of Noosa Waters where they built a comfortable family home while John bought a waterproofing business.

"Either side should be very, very careful to verify and ensure that the other party they're dealing with is actually in a position, a legal position, to either lease or or sell the property that they're considering," said Moranis. - First Canadian Title insurance company Title insurance is an insurance policy that protects property owners and their lenders against losses related to the property's title or ownership, including from title fraud, according to the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRAO). Morris Cooper, a civil litigation lawyer in Toronto who successfully argued a landmark case in 2006 that shifted the responsibility for title fraud from victims to lending institutions, said seniors and people who rent out their homes to tenants can be at a high risk of title fraud. Title fraud takes place when a person uses fake identification or forged documents to steal the identity of a homeowner and take away their "title," or legal ownership of a property. "It can take considerable time, money and effort to deal with having to restore your title and/or remove any fraudulently registered mortgages," FCT writes on its website. Victims of title fraud lose the right to mortgage their home, can no longer leverage the equity and can't sell the property until they re-establish their title rights through the courts, according to FCT.
