Questions answered? Let's get started!

Contract for Deed (sometimes referred to as a Land Contract) – Missouri use and applications:

When Buyer Cannot Qualify for Traditional Financing.

Often used by buyers who may not meet bank loan requirements due to credit or income issues.

When Seller Financing is Preferred or Necessary.

When Sellers may offer this arrangement to broaden their buyer pool or avoid dealing with banks.

When Property is Being Sold “As Is”.

Often used in cases involving older or distressed properties where a conventional mortgage would be harder to obtain.

Investment Property Transactions.

Sometimes used in investor deals where holding title back until payment completion is part of the deal structure.

For Sale by Owner (FSBO) Deals.

Common in informal or family transactions without a real estate agent.

Land Sales or Rural Property.

Sometimes used when raw land or agricultural property is sold, especially if the buyer is planning gradual development. Use this form for residential property, rental property, Condominiums, vacant land, small commercial property and planned unit development property. For use in Missouri only.

Things to Consider:
Buyer Risk: Since legal title doesn't transfer until full payment, the buyer can lose the property (and payments made) if they default.

Seller Risk: The seller may have to go through legal action (sometimes similar to eviction or foreclosure) if the buyer defaults.

Recording: Buyer shall be authorized to execute and record this “Contract for Deed” or an “Affidavit of Equitable Agreement” on or after Initial closing.

Important: Your property must be located in Daviess County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.

I got the right form but I waited too long to use it and Oregon changed the formatting. I should have checked and made sure the form was still good. Deeds responded quickly.

It's an instant download. I was very pleased that it included instructions and any necessary additional forms. Much easier than spending 3 hours on a county assessor's website searching for every single form. A good deal and I don't know how Deeds.com keeps up with thousands of counties. The fillable .pdf capability is a great enhancement.

Nice site, easy to maneuver around, and walks you thru completing forms. However, at the end, the forms listed poorly explained. It would be helpful to have better explanations of the forms so people know which forms they really need to download.
