You can have an assignment agreement, saying you assign your interests, but don't forget to endorse the document assigned.

FCI and Allied are two that will do it (no, I have no affiliation or allegiance to either company...I neither recommend or endorse either company).

However, if included inside the 1031 Exchange then the note must some how be used toward the purchase of the replacement properties whether it is converted to cash via an out-of-pocket cash infusion on your part, sold to an investor (likely at a steep discount), or endorse/assigned to the seller.

As an REO Broker for the past 10 years, never heard it referred to aa O&E,  Quit Claim is standard with an REO, Just get an Owner Policy and you will be fine, if you are concerned, pay for a Gap Endorsement as well, I nevr do, but I abstract my own title as a back up.

There's no endorsements for things such as the ALTA 9.1, no survey (although not always required, especially if there is endorsement to cover it), no county recording fee, no courier fee, no wire fee, no tax stamps, no doc prep, no Patriot Act, theres a few more Im not thinking of right now. 

This article also notes that Meijer recently opened its first Detroit store. http://www.wbez.org/sections/food/whole-foods-plans-replicate-detroit-success-englewood-109140So while I'm far from being an expert on Detroit (and am not endorsing it as a place for investment), major retail tenant developments are definitely an example of something I'd be looking for in a potential buy & hold area.

Let it be known to all persons that I have given true, lawful and expressed permission to act on my behalf, in my place and in my stead, for the specific and limited purpose of applying for credit accounts, processing and endorsing documentation with regards to those applications and opening of an email account for application correspondence to FinishLine Consulting, LLC for a time period of four (4) months from the effective date.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

@Share Ross  Thank you for the endorsement
