In regards to the coaching program, you have an endless amount of free material here on Bigger Pockets.

The reasons it is done that way are numerous, but some are "to clear title" and to meet statutory obligations set by the state.I'd want to know if there is a material "defect" in the property that caused it to not close when it was "pending".

I absorb written material far better than I do video/audio and they had the option of actual physical books (imagine that, lol!)
