FSBO Owner Finance Contract Question

[Emerald McGinnis]

I am in the process of negotiating to buy an owner financed property. Any advice on how to draft the contract? Should I enlist the help of an attorney? I have some experience drafting contracts but have never drafted and owner finance fsbo. Can it be handled as simply as downloading forms online or using legal zoom? I just want to make sure I don't over complicate or over simplify, lol.

@Emerald McGinnis - If this transaction is worth doing, then its worth doing right. HANDLE EVERYTHING WITH AN ATTORNEY. Pay for it, and be happy about every penny of the cost. You'll only have to do it once, as then you'll have the docs for future use. Also, always (every time) handle the closing and recording of the docs with an attorney or title company. Do it right and sleep well at night. And then if there does turn out to be a problem in the handling, you'll have someone else to blame other than yourself - and they'll potentially be liable.
