Finding Investor Friendly Title Companies

I don't have any references for you there, but if you don't get any decent responses, start cold calling title agents for an interview. Ask specific questions and when they state things like, "thats illegal" or "you can't do that" hang up and call the next one.
You can also check out your local REI club and speak with investors who may have contacts for you.

Contact transactional lenders, they have many title companies in all 50 states that they can recommend for double closings.

Give me a call, I can assist. If you are "calling" make sure you ask if they have closed any ABC transactions and does the Underwriter approve of them. I will guarantee you 90% do not know if their Underwriter can write these policies or not, or maybe they are not disclosing fully the tranx to them?

Transactional lenders are a good source of information for title companies. I would call Stephen because he is a BP member. Other national companies I might suggest are First American or Stewart. You want to make sure they understand what you are doing. Always describe it as a double closing, not "simultaneous", and that you will be seperately funding your purchase. Even with national companies that are familiar some local offices are going to be less familiar and sometimes reluctant. If they are not totally comfortable move on to the next one.
