@Timothy Riley Fear of having a mortgage is understood.  

BUt in general, the volatility of the boom and bust are more easily understood when in context like this.

I will definitely be using a title company as I want it to be least complicated and easily understood as possible for both myself and the seller.

At least, the ones I have understood have worked that way. 

While sub2 always has risks on the seller side, there were things that he could have done had he gotten legal advice on the purchase agreement or understood how mortgages work.

I am starting in Lewiston/auburn area in Maine and I have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast read the books and attend some webinars and I am telling you that I understood a lot of stuff that I wouldn't know without this great website!

Because of a little-understood IRS requirement.

We had a positive result, because there are not maintenance cost or other issue that usually happen with property.We could invest 5 million$ in the next 2 years, but we know we need a licence , at least it's what our Title company told us, what i understood is that the maximum amount of deals possible are 3. 

Very resourceful, she understood me and find me what I wanted.

(a) amount of earnest, understood(b) on (date), is this the date I sign this form with buyer or date he later drops of earnest at Title Co or the date of closing?
