@Anthony Maggio  never been but I have clients I have lent money to that swear by him.BP is pretty much anti guru in any form or fashion.. so keep that in mind.But do not take my comments like they are a ringing endorsement.. just relaying the one client I have who has made millions and credits Lindahl.

The seller's endorsement?

@Alexander Cameron,In Texas we always refer to @John Jackson as far as "compliance" goes so I fully endorse what he has to say on the subject. 

So, on balance an endorsement for sure.

(clause; buyer agrees to paint the house and replace the windows in consideration of $10,000) Seller writes you a check for $10,000, you endorse it back to him.They are a few ideas, good luck.CharlesOh, it is one thing to verbalize your request for creative financing, but most effective to put you request (demands) in a  contract offer. 

AS THEY SAY - YOU LEARN MORE WHEN YOU DO IT AND I CAN COMPLETELY ENDORSE IT NOW :) Perhaps I would need to decide in the coming week whether to rent or sell our current town home and prepare our exit/rental strategy accordingly.

If you talking about assigning a sale contract, deeds are not involved, look up endorsements of contract assignments, that should get you in the ball park of an example of doing an assignment for the benefit of the assignee. :) 

As to the question of where to buy, I second the endorsement for South Philly close to Broad.

I think @Jay Hinrichs does such funding, not an endorsement, just information. :) 

pay the $100,000 on installmentshave the owner refinance the property and you take over or assume the mortgage, pay him the balance on installmentsdo a master lease for the $100,000, he gets to keep X dollars from the gross rental until paid offoffer him less, but give him a hybrid (a percentage of the sale of the property in the future)Offer a Front Porch clause, You'll paint the front porch and house for $100,000, he gives you a check you endorse it and give it back to him as your down paymentmortgage out, get a first mortgage for $100,000 he takes a second for the balanceThey are few ideas.Good luck,Charles
