Crediting back some of a buyer's down payment

[Brian Kempler]

I would like to credit back a portion of my buyer's down payment on a house, say a few days after closing. We'll then write a promissory note for the amount, maybe attached by mortgage (if not, a lawyer said attaching a judgement lien upon default isn't too hard, provided no chapter 7 bankruptcy filing).

Has anyone done this post closing? Were both parties content with the outcome?
