Marian - A $1000 total is a very resonable price, and most will split the fee between the sale and purchase, so if you do not end up identifying, you are only spending a portion of the fee.A GOOD QI will answer all of your questions, explain the process, and explain the tax code, prepare the exchange agreement and other necessary documents as per the IRS regs, setup an account for your exchange funds, have security measures in place to be sure your funds are secure, prepare exchange documents for your purchase, review your closing statements to be sure there are no items that may cause you a tax consequence, fund your closing, keep you updated through the exchange with account statements.Most importantly they will be bonded, insured and know what they are doing.

The Mortgagee, per the security instrument, is allowed to include those arrears and advances made when finalizing the total amounts due under the note which is subject to review and approval by the system thus recovering those dues from the property at or from sale.   

Again, Would like to pay an attorney to review my contracts for wholesaling.

I was given Doug Mcknight from Coldwell Bankers info but I have no experience with him and he doesn't have any online reviews so I wanted to see if anyone else has a good recommendation or if they have any experience working with Doug McKnight. 

There is no real easy way to understand this from them beside actually reviewing loans they have made in the past.  

When I check reviews of hotels, service people, etc.
