Seller Financing Template Contract

[Michael Lamb]

Does anyone have a template for a creative financing deal?  I am purchasing my parent’s house, in Ohio, via seller financing. I’d love to be able to have a template contract to populate, then get a lawyer to look it over.

Is this something that is pretty straightforward, or do I need to get a lawyer involved from the beginning? In speaking to multiple attorneys, it looks like the going rate is around $1000.  I didn’t know if I could save some money by having the contract written and they just review it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
