contractual agreements
Building upon the previous written assignment, contractual agreements also provide methods for securing and retaining property. There are various methods in securing and retaining ownership of property or a right to ownership of the subject property. When a party fails to maintain his or her obligation under the contractual agreement, the subject property is subjected to foreclosure. This is facilitated through concepts such as title and lien theories. Each state has its own theory on this issue.
Outside of foreclosures, a buyer typically will purchase the property via various real estate finance options. In terms of real estate financing, there are multiple methods. These methods range from conventional mortgages, to government-insured loans to seller financing options. In this midterm essay assignment, you will also explore these aspects as well.
