 Thanks I appreciate your response. Its really bothering me. 

That's the thing that's killing me. The contract didn't have a expiration date on it. 

I signed to sell my duplex to a off market buyer back in January, they didn't sign it. They stopped responding, and the numbers I have for them are never answered. I want to sell it to another buyer now. I have even had a attorney try to get in contact with them the let them know I don't want to sell to them now. They still didn't respond to the attorney's email. Also the offer didn't have a expiration date on it that makes the offer automatically expire if not signed after a certain period. I was just wondering if I could go ahead and sell to someone else or am I still binding even though I tried everything to let them know I don't want to sell to them anymore?..... I personally feel like as soon as I sell to someone else the first people are going to magically get in contact with me like, they want to buy and try to sue me since I don't have the duplex anymore.

@Johnny Young Hey thanks alot man. Thats very valuable information.

If I send out a direct mail letter and the owner responds. What is the process for buying the property when its not on the MLS. Do I still need to have a agent involved somehow. I am still in process of getting my license.

For clarification I will be working with a agent but they would most likely be the sellers agent. I will be investing in different areas where I want always be able to find my own agent. I guess they would be some kind of dual agent. Is there anything I need to do to protect myself from any legal repercussions if maybe I need to walk away from the deal? I guess I will have to trust the agents I work with out of state.

How do you make offers without being a agent? Is there any legal implication with making offers? If I want to offer to buy someone's house what should I do first?

Thanks for the tip @Matt M.
