Owner Financing

Owner Financing with Scout Land Group

At Scout Land Group, we offer owner financing to help make land ownership possible. We can work with as little as 10% down, with loan terms up to 10 years. Your monthly payments are determined by two key factors: your down payment amount and the length of your loan term. Interest rates typically range from 10-14%, depending on these factors - the larger your down payment or the shorter your term, the lower your rate will be.

The process is straightforward: we do request a credit check when you submit an offer, though approval isn't solely based on credit. Once we agree on terms, we work with a title company (either yours or ours) to handle the closing. Everything is done professionally and securely, with no hidden fees and no penalties for early payoff. Interest is amortized, and you're welcome to pay off your land at any time. From the initial paperwork to the final closing, our team is here to guide you through each step of becoming a land owner.

FAQs

How does the owner financing process work?

We follow a simple step-by-step process: First, we discuss and agree on price and lending terms. After running a credit check, we execute a purchase contract. Earnest money is then sent to the title company, and we proceed to closing, which can be done at the title company or with a mobile notary for your convenience.


What are your down payment and term options?

We offer flexible financing starting at 10% down, with loan terms up to 10 years. The amount you put down and your loan term length affect both your interest rate and monthly payments - the larger your down payment or shorter your term, the lower your payments will be.

What are your interest rates?

Interest rates typically range from 10-14%, depending on your down payment amount and loan term. Rates are amortized and clearly outlined in your loan documents.

Do you require a credit check?

Yes, we do request a credit check during the offer process. However, your credit score is not the sole determining factor for approval - we look at the complete picture.

How do I make my payments?

All payments are managed through TerraNotes.com. Within 7-14 days after closing, you'll receive an activation link to set up your account. Through this platform, you can view your loan status, set up automatic payments, and make extra payments as needed.

Is there a penalty for paying off my loan early?

No! There's never a penalty for pre-payment, balloon payments, or paying off your loan early. You have full flexibility to manage your payments according to your financial situation.

Who handles the closing process?

We work with reputable title companies to handle all transactions professionally. You can choose either our title company or yours. Our Transaction Coordinator will send you a welcome email and coordinate with the title company. Closing can be done at the title company's office or with a mobile notary for convenience.

What happens after I close on the property?

Within two weeks of closing, you'll receive your TerraNotes.com activation link. Once you set up your account, you can manage all aspects of your loan online. Our team remains available to answer any questions or provide support throughout your journey.

What documentation will I need?

During the process, you'll need to sign a purchase contract and any relevant addendums. All paperwork is clearly explained and processed through our title company to ensure a secure transaction.

Do you require a credit check?

Yes, we do request a credit check during the offer process. However, your credit score is not the sole determining factor for approval - we look at the complete picture.
