Buying land and owner financing
What is owner financing for land?
With owner financing, the seller accepts payments under written financing documents rather than requiring the buyer to obtain a conventional land loan at closing. Terms vary by property and buyer approval.
What should I verify before buying vacant land?
Common items include legal access, boundaries, zoning, permitted uses, utilities, water, wastewater, easements, title matters, development costs and financing terms.
Does a nearby power pole guarantee inexpensive electrical service?
No. A nearby pole can be helpful, but the utility still determines availability, extension requirements, engineering and cost based on the proposed service location and site conditions.
Can ReddingLand.com guarantee that I can build on a property?
No. Buyers should independently confirm zoning, permits, utilities, access, soils, wastewater options and their intended use with the appropriate professionals and government agencies.
