We also buy on monthly payments
Some land sellers don't want one large check. An installment sale — seller financing — lets you receive payments over months or years instead, with interest, so the gain may be recognized as payments arrive rather than all at once.
Predictable monthly income
A fixed deposit on the same day every month for the length of the term you choose.
Spread the tax year
Taking the full price in one year can push the entire gain into that year. Payments may let gain be recognized as they arrive.
No more bills
No property tax, no mowing, no maintenance. We take those over the day we close.
Secured by the property
The note is secured by a recorded deed of trust against the land itself.
