THE CONTRACT FOR DEED TRAP:

What you get immediately

• A 50-state + D.C. snapshot that classifies each jurisdiction by remedy, not by folklore 
• Statute-backed writeups for the states that actually decide this issue: Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and the rest of the enforcement map 
• Five categories: mortgage-equivalent, hybrid/threshold, statutory cancellation, strict foreclosure, common-law risk 
• Creator playbook: when to use a CFD and when to close on a note and mortgage or deed of trust 
• Note-buyer playbook: how to price CFD paper when the state still requires foreclosure 
• The underwriting stamp: State / Category / Remedy / Threshold / Recording / Counsel date
• Hidden-cost list: extra recording, assignments, QCDs, transfer or mortgage tax, owner’s insurance, deed-side liability

This is not a generic “seller finance” ebook. It answers one question: if this buyer defaults next month, do you cancel — or do you foreclose?
