Need more info- if the sale is $130,000, with $100,000 down and you carrying the balance, that's fine. If its some larger amount, with $100,000 down, a bank holding the first, and you holding the second mortgage for $30,000, you'll probably lose the 30K. Reason? You have no real remedy if he defaults on your 2nd mortgage. You would have to foreclose on him, and pay off the first mortgage- need a lot of financial horsepower to pull that off.
John T shares my philosophy on carrying paper. The seller is better off with a contract than a note and mortgage (or Deed of Trust): easier and cheaper to foreclose, and you get the property back, not a sale on the courthouse steps.
But we part company on not recording the contract- at least in Washington, you have to record the contract, or get big penalties- and you can't forfeit (foreclose on) the contract if its unrecorded. And awfully hard to find a buyer who would stand still for that kind of arrangement. As my dad used to say, "Anybody with enough money to make that deal is probably smart enough not to."
