Also there needs to be distinction between binding when parties both sign a contract and communication afterwords while under contract.The contract should state specifically that e-mail,fax,certified mail etc. is an accepted part of communication and giving notice to the other party.The item not selected would not be binding as a way to communicate while under contract.If the contract did not state the particular method to use as being able to be used or not used then it might be found unenforceable by a judge in a court of law as being too vague.

You need to get an o&e to see which lien is foreclosing.

Will it hurt my chances to get another loan this year as my schedule E will show a slight loss on paper once the units are all averaged.

That will spell out what happens to any deposits and earnest money and provisions and protections built in.If you do not understand specific language in a contract or what will happen then you should not sign it until you do.Sadly everyone gets into a contract and then does damage control later on.Saying to a judge in court "I didn't understand what I signed your honor" will not fly.They will come back to you doing your own due diligence and if you didn't sign you wouldn't be in this positions.Also make sure you are not confusing earnest money with lender fees required upfront to fund a loan.Those are generally non-refundable but again review all docs you signed.If a real estate broker/agent was not involved in the contract do not expect them to give legal advice.Some nice attorneys might let you e-mail a copy of the contract to them and spend a few minutes on the phone with you.If you need something deeper than that expect to shell out some coin.

Your title co should be able to do a O&E report for you, which will show you liens and judgement & mortgage records, & how the property was conveyed, etc.

It (and especially Marty's McDonald's reference) reminded me of Michael Gerber's book "The E-Myth Revisited".
