They might as well allow a formal assumption.

Hi Martin,I don't know what the "best" way is but, we prefer to do it formally (in writing) with a note in a sealed envelope attached to the door.

From what I understand you do not have to submit the portfolio or proof of experience to take the courses though as it's mainly a formality for the title.

Not many people would recommend judicial auctions as the way to do your first REI deals.

What is your level of conventional and formal education, can you work decimals or figure a per centage in your head without much trouble?

It's about time I formally introduced myself and did a post!

Today, due to foreclosure issues and issues of default, it's common now for a seller to go through a judicial foreclosure instead of filing a deed that was made and held years ago.

That is consideration.A formal escrow deposit is not required to create a binding contract.

A formal introduction would be appropriate before posting on the threads and PMing some of experienced and helpful investors on this site so here goes!

There's no way to know.Regardless, the right thing to have done would have been to submit a formal offer (either yourself or through another agent) and if the seller agreed, there wouldn't be a lot of verbal back-and-forth...they would have just signed the offer and you wouldn't be in the middle of all this.So again, in the future, either be able to handle your side of the deal yourself (without an agent) or use your own agent.
