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.

Many companies only release certain clusters and types of data which can make assumptions riskier and modeling outputs more variable. 

I recommend you pay him the final amount, but get a lien release, in advance, that says if you pay him this final amount, he will have been paid in full for his work and no further liens can accrue.I believe a mechanics lien once filed generally initiates a court date to substantiate the claim.

My figures are below.TaxDeed Winning Bid: $489.00 (My Bid May 2013)Property Clean-up: $450.00 (mowing, trash removal)Taxes & Insurance: $80.00 (2013 & 2014)Sale Advertising: $130.00 (Signage, Newspaper Ads, etc)Filings & Legal Fees: $245.00 (Deed, Lien Releases, Sales Agreement Docs)Total Costs: $1395 (approx)Sold for: $3250.00 (August 2014)That is better than the 25% I would have received if the property was redeemed during the redemption period.

. $300k loan needs to show $15k liquid assets, and draws typically require you to pay contractors and obtain a lien release before you can be reimbursed for the money you paid contractor.While I know there are a lot of people who use low money down loans to get started, it is risky.  

Many will issue press releases when they close on acquisitions, which result in articles in publications like Multi Housing News, GlobeSt, and Multifamily Biz.
