Hypothetically, if I get a seller under contract and take the title to my attorney for a title check and the deal falls through for whatever reason, how do i settle up with my attorney or title company because surely it's not their problem the deal fell through.

And through the process i learned so much, from talking to the sellers, to presenting a deal to a cash buyers,and then to the closing table/ And through that I had bumps and bruises and angry callers, to sounding like a complete idiot talking to sellers,deals fall apart at the closing table, horrible mailing campiangs, spending marketable dollars getting nothing in return... but through it all Thats where i got my knowledge.

I know I will be taking some risk, but $2k will not bankrupt me if everything falls through, and I find that an acceptable risk here.What do I need to do to get the contract price lowered?

I don't know CO foreclosure proceedings, but part of this also falls under Dodd-Frank and if your notes are owner occupied servicing requirements apply regardless of the status of the loan, performing or DOA.
