Contract For Deed Questions

[Steve Christensen]

When doing a Contract for Deed, how do you protect yourself, as well as anyone you place in the home?

How do you prevent the Do On Sale clause from being exercised?

I see many people promote doing deals in a creative way, but it seems like unless you are the owner of the home and you are financing someone, or if you want to get a Contract for Deed, the best way is if the home is owned Free and Clear.

I would love to hear about deals you have completed, how you structured them, how you protected yourself, what your exit strategy was, and how you protected your end buyer.
