5. Consider whole picture. Suppose a bank will loan 90%, and is okay with you taking back a $5,000 second mortgage, allowing buyer to get in with what cash he has. If you're getting $6,000 more than you expected by accomodating buyer's needs, where's loss? You're okay if he never pays $5,000, right?

6. Talk to a lawyer. Maybe in your area it takes two years to get a foreclosure on a mortgage through courts, and only six months to foreclose on a "contract for sale." Knowing these things can help you sell in safest way.

Offering seller financing makes it easier to sell, and to get a higher price. Just be safe about it. Have a real estate lawyer review your paperwork, and use tips here.

If you receive strange or suspicious inquiries asking for your account information to verify a statement or confirm an award or prize winnings....call your bank and report this immediately.

Times have changed over years. It is suggested that you no longer attach outgoing mail to your mailbox for pickup. Instead, deliver it directly to an official Post Office or postal collection box. This is one of easiest ways a thief can steal your identity.

If you notice that your regular bills have stopped coming, find out why. Call company to verify. Someone could have filed a false change of address to re-direct your information to his or her address.
