Q: What document in California allows me to sell a property with Owner Financing and get the property back the quickest?
A: A contract for deed is a form of seller financing in which the property is not transferred until the contract is paid off. You might also do a lease with an option to buy, that way the ownership of the property is not transferred until the tenant/buyer exercises the option to purchase. In a sale with carry back deed of trust, you could do a power of sale foreclosure and get the property back in about four months or have your deed of trust paid off.
