I'm torn though, it's really wired for me... way to sit down/formal for BBQ... but the prime rib ribs are on an entire level. 

I develop a Statement of Work (SOW) for the contractor and he submits a formal bid for the job.  

Also, make sure you lay out the specifics of the partnership so the roles and responsibilities are clear and please use a formal agreement. 3.

I never got a formal 30 day notice but has been gone for about 3 weeks.

Looking back now, when the landlord didn't reply about a credit when we spoke on Sept. 19th, I should have formalized a credit request in a certified letter. 

I would suggest getting a formal proposal from you Home and Auto agent.Good luck with it

While I've posted a handful of times elsewhere, as I am now at the point of looking to make a first investment I wanted to formally introduce myself.

If I have an LLC, and I formally loan my personal cash to my LLC (promissory note and all that) - that seems to work just fine.

Originally posted by @Russell Brazil:I dont know what your contract states....our contracts state an interest then say "or market rate."4% wouldnt have been a possible interest in almost a year now.Our contract doesn't talk about market rate, but says the interest rate should not exceed 4.0% - maybe it's just a placeholder for formality.

@Russell Brazil yes I have won one specific performance suit.. but vastly different set of circumstances.the seller was losing the property and needed 40k to cure the tax ( property tax) default or they were going to lose it .In Oregon its the only state I personally know were property lost for non payment of property tax's escheats to the state.. no public auction no overage no right of redemption other than the county commissioners can over turn it down the road.. that all said there was no time to do a formal escrow so I did a Purchase and sale contract.. gave the seller 5k of non refundable EM and handed it to her..
