Should I get a lawyer too? 

Best to involve attorneys/lawyers as well, but it depends on the type of financing you get.  

do i need a lawyer and a specific one at that?

SOS......I closed on my investment property last Thursday, lawyer, title co, realtors paid and keys handed over to buyer but the wire from the bank ( the title company uses) keeps getting rejected by my investment company.  

There are plenty of lawyers in America waiting to sue a seller!   

Are you an Oklahoma lawyer?

Several doctors and lawyers and other smart people literally crying on the phone to me as they realized their whole retirement plan was done and they need to work into their 70’s if they wanted to retire.

I would likely use the equity to purchase more real estate so I might just 1031 into a new propertyCaveat: I am not a CPA, tax professional, lawyer, IRS afficianado or other expert in taxes, but...If you have lived in the property for two of the last five years, you should be able to capture that $100k in appreciation without needing to go through the hassles of a 1031 exhange.

In fact, you've seen me mention in other threads Mark Kohler and @Mat Sorensen who are partners in KKOS Lawyers (and accountants - Mark is a JD and a CPA).

I suspect I (my lawyer) would have gotten this rectified in a week or 2.I am glad this seems to be getting resolved but this was via a fortuitous connection made via this post.
