I have been toiling over investing in DST 1031 Exchange vs cashing out by paying capital gains.

The standard sell it and rent it back for 4 years is probably the best bet.

If the lender contests the funds release and don't choose to release the escrow funds back to you, it can get tied up in litigation and after 3 years will be surrendered to the state by the title company.Your best bet is to go with a legitimate company that will be up front and transparent with you about the terms and costs before you are already committed.Seems like everyone is telling you the exact same thing so I really do hope you make the right decision here.

Your best bet is find a way to reject  them for someone better. 

I would like to sell a rental property and do a 1031 exchange to buy a property from my mother's estate (I am a beneficiary).

You can bet they do quality work or these huge companies would not be hiring them. 

A cattle guard was going to be my other suggestion, but I'm betting those are pricy.

I have invested as a LP in apartment communities where there is a partnership between a government agency and the ownership group to provide affordable housing in exchange for tax abatements and long-term, low-rate government funding.
