Start Payments
Once approved, you will sign a contract for deed and make your down payment. From there, you begin making affordable monthly payments. You can use the land immediately while you pay — hunt, camp, build, or hold it as an investment.
- Low down payments, typically starting from $1,500
- Fixed monthly payments with no balloon payments
- Terms from 60 to 144 months depending on the property
- Use the land while you pay it off
Own Your Land
When your final payment is made, the deed transfers to your name. You own the property outright, free and clear. No liens, no encumbrances. The entire process is handled with a straightforward contract that protects both parties.
- Full deed transfer upon contract completion
- Property is owned free and clear
- No hidden fees or closing surprises
- We handle all transfer paperwork
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about purchasing land through a contract for deed.
What is a contract for deed?
A contract for deed (also known as a land contract) is an agreement where the seller finances the property directly to the buyer. The buyer makes monthly payments to the seller. Once the contract is fully paid, the seller transfers the deed to the buyer. It is a simple, time-tested way to purchase property without involving banks or mortgage companies.
What are the requirements?
Our requirements are straightforward: you must be 18 years or older, have a valid ID, and be able to make the down payment and monthly installments. There are no income verification requirements and no minimum credit score. We believe everyone deserves a fair shot at land ownership.
Is there a credit check?
No. We do not run credit checks. Our owner financing model is designed to serve buyers who may not qualify for traditional bank financing. Your credit history does not affect your ability to purchase land through Contract4Deed.
Can I build on the land?
In most cases, yes. Residential lots are typically build-ready with utilities available. Recreational and hunting properties may require additional permitting depending on the county. We recommend checking with local zoning and building departments for specific requirements. You are free to use the land according to local regulations while making payments.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We understand that life happens. If you miss a payment, we offer a grace period and will work with you to get back on track. Repeated missed payments may result in contract default, but we always prefer to find a solution. Communication is key — reach out to us if you are facing financial difficulty and we will do our best to help.
How long are the terms?
Contract terms typically range from 60 months (5 years) to 144 months (12 years), depending on the property price and your down payment. Longer terms mean lower monthly payments. You can also pay off your contract early at any time with no prepayment penalties.
