OH gosh I just read this and this is what led a company I worked for in the 80s into a massive BK loaning between partnerships..

Quote from @Godsheritage Adeoye: Hello everyone,Does anyone have recommendations for a title company in Maryland that specializes in handling seller-financed transactions?

Investors should therefore exercise significant care when choosing their Qualified Intermediary because of the critical role the company will play in the administration of their 1031 Exchange transaction.It is extremely important to note that 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediaries are generally not required to be licensed, regulated, audited or otherwise monitored by any regulatory body.

Quote from @Lolo Druff: I've heard horror stories about awful property management companies and am looking for a REFERRAL for a trusted source from an investor.

Often times when a builder/buyer moves too fast, or is too busy and overlooks a key piece of due diligence, the unethical ones will try the "scorched earth" method and blame everyone but themselves, even when they know it was their own mistake, and they'll see if they can scare you, the seller, the title company et al into paying damages/fixing their problem. 

If you plan on buying and holding in say a great pm company. 

I called the water company.

I found it on the MLS by following an agent that relists homes for an investment company.

Also do not take documents off the internet, get an attorney to draft documents for you and also always close with a title company. 

In the real world, most companies with stock prices that drop down that low are more likely to go completely bust, and whatever you invested will just be lost.Regardless of the game's weaknesses, I think overall it was valuable learning experience.
