    Re: SELLING stuff on payment plan...

    Did it for a friend and charged him the going interest rate as if he had good credit. Every payment was late except the last couple which he paid early. There's a reason people have bad credit.

    Never done it, here's why, when I was young my Father owner financed a small river house on the Missouri River we owned, the jerk-off made two payments and never made another one, my parents really didn't have to money to waste, took almost two years to get rid of him, they spent a ton getting him out of it and then we still had to sell it, what a mess, taught me something, don't finance anything for anyone, that's what banks are for.

    I've done it a couple times for friends. It typically took longer to get the money than what was agreed upon, but I wasn't hurting for it and trusted that they'd pay me off when they could and they always did. What I find to work a lil better is just get a deposit from them, let them know you'll hold such item till it's paid for, then release it to them. They'll pay you a lot sooner!

    Although you had a previous situation that made you feel that way, there are ways to protect your investment/cash. Privately lending money isn't about loosening ALL credit standards, it's about loosening maybe one standard but still lending prudently. If your parents had taken a large enough downpayment, they would have been happy to get rid of him and sell it again. There's nothing better than selling something for a profit twice!

    One of the keys is don't do it for freinds and family. Make it a business decision and you should end up just fine.
