How would you go about releasing an existing memorandum from a Buyer that never performed?

Just go for it. the fear in your first deal will always be there, but you have to move forward cause you cant steer a car that isnt moving. you can turn the wheel for hours in the driveway and plan your rout but you have to release the parking break and start going. even if your in reverse, at least you know your first step is to change the direction of travel. but in the driveway, with the break set, all the steering and gear shifting and analyzing wont get you anywhere. pop that clutch baby!

For example at Castic Lake they use energy that is delivered when not needed to pump water up in the lake, then when they need that water it spins a turbine as it flows down, releasing that stored energy.  

The only time a title company would execute such an agreement would be to acknowledge receipt of an EMD or some specific terms related to escrow/conditions of release of funds.
