Found the forms I needed but had to type these out my self in Word since these forms do not allow any information to be saved. I understand you want this to be proprietary information but you failed to deliver a usable product. I printed this template and built my own in microsoft word. Good examples and instructions with poor execution. I lost hours of typing and nearly lost real estate deals due to these documents not being in a format ready to use. Will be using another service next time or buying these as guides alone.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Sorry to hear of the struggle you had using our forms. We will look into the issues you reported to see what we can do to provide a better product. For your trouble we have provided a full refund of your order.
