There are Zero Out-of-Pocket Closing Costs During The Purchase

There will be no out-of-pocket or upfront closing costs charged to the buyer at the time of purchase in this contract for deed transaction. The down payment and cost of private home inspection are the only expenses a buyer can expect to pay.

Compared to bank financing this can save a buyer thousands of dollars in closing fees that have to be paid upfront at the closing table.

Any acquisition costs we incur in purchasing the property we will attempt to have the seller pay. We do our best to negotiate this without affecting the purchase price, but there is a possibility our acquisition costs will get wrapped into the contract for deed loan amount effecting price marginally.
