Hey all,

I am wanting to put my lot under seller finance.  Its located in Washington state.  which way is the safest bet?  Contract for deed, or 1st lien.    I have a buyer looking at it, but what steps would you take to protect yourselves, or least costly should buyer default.

WA has a modified CFD called a Real Estate Contract. 90 day notice to cure or forfeit. If they don't cure you get it back legally by recording a forfeiture.

I just turn in my PSA with Method of Payment addendum and the title co has it drafted by one of their network attorneys for about $300.
