I am looking for houses to buy on a land contract, is there a specific website, or do I go through a realtor?

November 29, 2009 - 6:13 am 4 Comments

I am trying to find a home to purchase, but dont know how to find owners willing to do a land contract. What about homes that are for sale by owner? Do I just call them and ask, or can I find listings?
If anyone knows of any homes they are willing to do a land contract in the Sheboygan WI area I would apreciate it. I would also consider rent to own also.

If you are looking for lease with option to purchase or rent to own, or for sale by owner they will be found in your local newspaper. You have to look for them.

Now as far as a realtor is concerned, most contract can be writen by those with a litte common sense. You need a date, the sales price, how much is to be placed down if anything, when the lease can be optioned and under what condition.

The reason that a person is selling the house on their own is because they don’t want to use a real estate agent.

Yes, once you find one of the above listed you must call them to check out the price, interest rate, location. a walk through to see if you like the place as well as the neighboorhood.

You might also look at rentals. Call them and ask if they are interested in a lease option or rent to own. Some or most will consider it.

Those houses you find for sale, inquire of the owner if they will consider a land contract or would they consider carrying the note/mortgage on the house? In other words, would the be the bank? Again some will consider the proposition.

So we want to ask

#1 Would you carry the mortgage for me

#2 Would you condsider a lease with an option to purchase, how much of the rent will be placed toward the down payment, what do I have to place down?

#3 Would you consider a rent to own, how much of the rent would be placed toward the down payment

#4 Would you consider a land contract.

Call all the For Sale By Owners you find in the newspapers. You might also ask other listings you find.

Do not sign a contract with a realtor or real estate agent, that limits your ability and even if you find one on your own, you will be obligated to pay the real estate agent.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

    It is always advisable to work with a real estate licensee and an attorney when dealing in real estate due to the complexities of it, to that end I think you might want to start your search for answers here:

    I believe it is up to you to approach the seller with an offer to buy under a land contract of sale. Not 100% sure, but check with a realtor.
