Thanks, ----ANSWER---- Yes. Either <a href="http://esqwire.com" rel="nofollow">Ari Goldberger</a> or <a href="http://johnberryhill" rel="nofollow">John Berryhill</a>, both are top domain attorneys in the industry and both I work with regularly. Sahar Sahar,

Do you have a recommendation for an agent that would hold a domain (like in escrow I suppose) that would protect both parties for a deal like this?

Thanks,

Creative financing has made many people very wealthy and is a great skill to know. What would help the domain industry in particular which you have covered already is more liquidity and more and better financing options. Any tips on how you set up a successful creative financing deal and what clauses you used? ----ANSWER---- Nothing major really. Creative financing is about addressing the needs of the seller while managing your risk carefully. I'm not a big fan of long contracts and try to keep them to a page or two. Most important is that within a payment structure the domain is held with an agent or in your hands and not the owner. You do not want to pay for something and have no control of transfer when payments are done. I agree Sahar. Creative financing has made many people very wealthy and is a great skill to know.

The owner went for the deal I proposed which meant, we were "getting paid"? to buy the domain (making more then our monthly payment) and at the end of the payment structure we ended up owning a multi-million dollar property." I did not understand ANYTHING. What was this deal you proposed that was so great? ----ANSWER---- The owner was not monetizing the domain. The deal basically was our payments were less then what we were making. You write:

I know the real estate analogy is common, but I think it's accurate. If I buy a million dollar house and rent it out for more than the monthly mortgage payment, I am essentially getting paid to acquire a valuable piece of property. This is very interesting.
