How does owner financing work?+
We carry the loan ourselves — no bank, no broker. You reserve a parcel by signing the agreement online ($0 down, nothing due to reserve), then pay us monthly at a fixed 10% APR over 60 months. The contract is two pages, plain English, and recorded with the county. Title transfers to your name when the note is paid off.
Do you check my credit?+
No. No credit report, no tax returns, no pay stubs. The land is the collateral — if a buyer stops paying, our remedy is to take the lot back, not to garnish wages or report to the bureaus. That is why no credit pull is normal for seller-financed land.
What does a typical monthly look like?+
On a $14,900 lot at $0 down, 10% APR over 60 months, the monthly runs about $317 — no PMI, no escrow, no broker fee on top. Every lot page shows that lot’s exact monthly.
What happens if I miss a payment?+
We send a reminder. There is a 15-day grace period, then a $25 late fee. After two missed payments we pause the contract and call to figure out a plan. We are a family operation, not a foreclosure shop — in all our years, no buyer has lost a parcel they were trying to keep.
Can I pay extra or pay off early?+
Yes — no prepayment penalty. Anything beyond the monthly goes straight to principal. About a third of our buyers retire the note in 18 to 36 months and take immediate deed transfer.
When do I own the land?+
The deed records in your name when the final payment clears. Until then we hold legal title as the seller-financier and you hold equitable title under the recorded contract — which lets you walk the parcel and improve the lot subject to the contract and POA rules.
Can I see the lot before I sign?+
Of course. Call us at (501) 442-0501 and we’ll meet you at the gate with a topo and walk the parcel before you sign anything. If it’s not right, we’ll show you other lots.
What about utilities and access?+
Every parcel we sell has county-maintained road frontage. Power, water, and — in most sections — fiber run to the lot line. Septic and well are on you, post-payoff, if you build. Each lot page lists its specific utility status.
What if I need to sell before paying off?+
Two paths: pay off the remaining balance with the new buyer’s funds at closing and transfer clean title, or assign your contract to the new buyer with our written consent. Either way, we coordinate.
What protects me as the buyer?+
The contract is recorded with the county clerk, putting your interest in the public record with you listed as the buyer. We carry property insurance until close. Your recorded interest follows the land and is enforceable in court.
