OWNER FINANCING: We do offer owner financing under the following terms:
- Owner Financed Price = $38,390
- Down Payment = $8,000
- Monthly Payment = $818.97
- Term = 48 months
- No Pre-Payoff Penalty!
We have a two-week waiting period after the posting of our original MLS listing before we open up the owner-financing option. Also, if you would like to make a larger down payment in exchange for a slightly lower interest rate and/or fewer payments, we can certainly accomodate that, so just let us know! If you’d like to buy this property via owner financing, call or text Scott directly at 314.639.9777 or email him at info@acretown.com and we’ll get you set up!
OUTSIDE FINANCING: Your best deal for financing will come from a local bank or credit union, such as Farm Credit of Florida, who is one of the best local land lenders in the area for rural properties and they require as little as 15% down up to a 15-year term, with interest rates as low as 9%, with no pre-payoff penalties. Please contact Jason Beutke by phone at (386) 462-4201 for more information. They do serve Florida.
QUICK FINANCING: At this price range though, a personal loan from your bank or credit union is probably the easiest and quickest way to secure financing.
Call or text Scott directly at 314.639.9777 or email at info@acretown.com if you’d like to discuss an offer. If you’re a Spanish speaker, please ask for Andy on our team and he’ll be glad to help you.
FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
