Explore Owner Financed Land in Texas
It can be difficult to find the kind of financing needed to buy your own land. Our goal is to make it as easy and affordable for the buyer as possible. That is why we offer owner financing for Texas land on many of our properties.
What is owner financed land?
Owner financed land is also referred to as “seller financing” and is an alternate option to traditional bank financing. Through owner financing, you make the payment on the land directly to the seller of the property until the land purchase is paid off.
What are the down payment requirements for owner financing?
Typical down payment on an owner financing loan is 10% down. Because you are dealing directly with the seller, there might be some flexibility in the down payment.
What are the advantages of getting financing through the owner financing option?
There are a lot of advantages to purchasing seller financed land.
First, you will not have your credit checked which means that do not have to go through the process with the risk of not getting approved.
Another big advantage is that the closing costs may be lower because you are not involving a big financial institution. You are dealing directly with the seller.
Third, there is usually a lower down payment amount than you would get with a typical traditional bank financing loan.
Last, the process can go much quicker and smoother because there is less paperwork and no waiting for approval.
These are incredible advantages to owner financing which have the potential of making your dreams of owning land a reality.
Summary of Advantages to Owner Financing:
- No credit checks
- Low money down
- Short wait to obtain land
- Closing costs lower
- Less paperwork

Down Payment
With any land buying financing, you will need to be prepared to secure your investment with a down payment. The down payment for owner financing is low and usually averages about 10% of the purchase price of the tract you are buying.
Interest Rate
The interest rate on owner financing is fixed for the entire term of your loan which means that your payment will not go up. Just like with any other financing, the interest rate on owner financing loans can be affected by the market fluctuations but once you lock in an owner financing loan, it will stay fixed.
Terms
We divide out the payments over 30 years but terms are also flexible depending on your down payment amount.
