monthly payments from your buyer?
Did you know that you can sell your contract and get a lump sum of
money and "wash your hands" of the property?

I'm trying to find out how old my refrigerator is. It is still working
although it leaves water on the floor which I wipe up periodically. It
still cools and freezes but I know it's on its way out. It's quite old
