Questions answered? Let's get started!
In Idaho, a Contract for Deed is typically used in real estate transactions where the buyer cannot obtain traditional financing, or the seller and buyer prefer an alternative arrangement for transferring property ownership. The contract allows the buyer to take possession of the property while making payments to the seller over time, but the seller retains the legal title until the purchase price is fully paid.
This Form includes Financing options, traditional installment payments or with a balloon payment if applicable.
LATE CHARGE additional charge when a payment is delinquent.
NON-SUFFICIENT FUNDS: Fees for bad checks.
IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER REMEDIES available to the Lender if this Note is not paid in full at the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lender an Overdue Loan Fee
RIGHT TO PREPAY. Buyer has the right to prepay
Use this form for residential, a condominium, rental property, vacant land, a Planned Unit Development and small commercial property
Key Considerations:
Statute of Frauds Compliance: Under Idaho law, certain agreements must be in writing to be enforceable. Specifically, contracts for the sale of real property or interests therein are required to be in writing. This is outlined in Idaho Code §9-505, which states that agreements for the sale of real property must be in writing and signed by the party to be charged.
IDAHO LEGISLATURE: Property Condition Disclosure: Idaho's Property Condition Disclosure Act mandates that sellers of residential property provide a disclosure form to buyers. This form details the property's condition and must be completed and delivered to the buyer within ten days of accepting the buyer's offer. This requirement applies to various transfer methods, including installment sale contracts.
A contract with stringent default terms can be beneficial to the seller in the case of default. For use in Idaho only.
Important: Your property must be located in Gem County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.
This Contract for Deed meets all recording requirements specific to Gem County.

Using Deeds.com was unbelievably quick and easy to file a deed restriction with our local county office. From uploading the initial file to deeds.com, to having a fully recorded document was right on one hour - and all from the comfort of my home. I found your service was easy to use and your staff were very quick in responding to my filing. I will definitely use and recommend deeds.com in the future.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Very Poor and useles, a scam, don't waste your money, those templates are useless and do Not give you Any valid,proper, meeningful wording to use, did Not Help me, nothing more than what a 5th grader can come up with as far as wording or example..I feel I was riped off and this is a total scam... nothing useful
We appreciate all feedback, even when it’s critical. Thousands of customers have successfully used our documents, but they are not for everyone. These are reviewed, fill-in-the-blank templates that provide the wording and structure required by law. Some situations call for more personalized guidance or hand-holding than templates alone can provide, and in those cases an attorney may be the better option.

Thomas S. 1 out of 5 stars
Not good. The blanks on the form, supposedly especially tailored for the specific county, didn't have enough space for a document name or the doc #. I had to retype the whole doc myself.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the form did not provide enough room for the prior document information you needed to enter. We have canceled the order and reversed the payment. We are also reviewing the field spacing for the prior document title and recording number so we can improve the form. No further action is needed from you.
