Worth wiped out a neighborhood of houses that were sold under contract for deed, and he also acknowledges most attorneys don't seem to read the property code regarding lease options or at least understand the law.

And I didn't mean to imply that you were upset about it...sorry about that...Brett seemed to be a little bit upset for you (at least he acknowledged you had reason to be upset), and I was simply pointing out exactly what you pointed out above -- Jay made an offer, you considered it, you decided it wasn't a good offer for you, and you moved on. 

Language is key in RTO agreements, something as simple as acknowledging ownership can ruin you wih the wrong tenant

In CT the buyer would sign a form acknowledging that your agent was representing both you and the seller, and would not violate eithers "trust"     All of that aside HUD typically allows for 6% commission on its deals, split between the sellers and buyers brokers, and sales agent. 

Acknowledgement that this is not a one time thing for a few months.  

That said, if you have the "disregard if... " on your future mailings, then the awkwardness part is moot because when you ask, with the intent of receiving confirming the status, and they acknowledge that it is, then you can simply apologize for the misunderstanding, gently point out that your mailing had a note about listed properties and so having received the call, you naturally assumed that the property was not listed.  

@Eli Rose--  When wholesaling as an agent, you are acting as the principal in the transaction...and you state this in the special stips as well that all parties acknowledge Buyer is a licensed Realtor and is not representing the seller, etc.

I wouldn't say anything wrong with it (just my personal opinion, and I acknowledge that you might have an opposite opinion) - it's their business. 

So I guess the point of all that was to acknowledge that it's perfectly legal to charge a repair deductible, you just choose not to do so.

Thank you Greg, I only have a acknowledgment to purchase receipt received at auction, the deed is not executed yet, is it?
