Regardless offering  A B  C terms is pretty easy.. and I guess if no one has heard of the concept this is good intoWe have had this one in our quiver since the mid 70s  LOL.. although sometimes you give them analysis paralysis and then they have to talk to their CPA and their attorney and they don't understand etc etc  ( seller) so probably want to figure out the business acumen of the seller  Lest you confuse them

To start you need the concept, once you're in you begin educating yourself more into which avenue you'd like to tackle based on the type of person you are.

@Jeffrey L EvansIf you are purchasing property in Canada and financing it in Canada - particularly residential property - the calculator referenced above will be inaccurate as interest will be calculated differently (depending upon the financing).Amortization is the period over which the financing spread - that concept remains the same.  

The reason is a concept called either "risk of loss passing" or "receipt of benefits and burdens of ownership". 

its as simple concept as this  " BE THE BANK"  then of course there are variations of real estate debt.1.
