What Is a Contract for Deed?

A Contract for Deed is a seller-financing arrangement in which the buyer agrees to make payments directly to the seller over time. Unlike a traditional mortgage, the seller typically retains legal title to the property until the terms of the agreement have been fulfilled.

Contracts for Deed are known by several names depending on the state, including:

  • Land Contract
  • Agreement for Deed
  • Installment Land Contract
  • Contract Sale
  • Bond for Title

Although the terminology may differ, these agreements often create a stream of future payments that can be sold for cash.

Why Do People Sell a Contract for Deed?

Many note holders decide that access to cash today is more valuable than receiving payments over time.

Common reasons include:

  • Retirement planning
  • Paying off debt
  • Purchasing another property
  • Starting or expanding a business
  • Medical expenses
  • Family needs
  • Investment opportunities
  • Estate planning

Selling a Contract for Deed allows you to unlock the value of your asset and put your money to work immediately.
