Common Uses for a Nebraska Land Installment Contract

1. Alternative to Traditional Financing
For buyers who can’t qualify for a bank loan due to poor credit, limited credit history, or self-employment.
For sellers who want to expand their buyer pool by offering owner-financing.

2. Purchasing Rural or Agricultural Land
Used for sales of farmland, ranch land, or vacant rural lots where traditional lending may be harder to secure.
Useful in family transfers of agricultural property where a younger generation buys the land over time.

3. Investment or Seller Financing Strategy
Sellers use land contracts to earn interest on installment payments and retain legal control of the property until paid in full.
May allow for a higher sale price or more favorable terms compared to cash sales.

4. Real Estate Flipping
A useful tool for real estate investors who buy, improve, and resell properties to buyers with limited access to financing.

5. Estate Planning or Intra-Family Transfers
Parents selling property to children using installment terms.
Allows for gradual transfer of ownership without requiring full payment upfront.
6. Land Development Deals

Used by developers selling individual lots in a subdivision on contract while retaining control until each buyer completes payment.
Legal and Practical Considerations in Nebraska
Title remains with the seller until the final payment is made.
Buyer holds equitable title, gaining certain property rights and obligations (like maintenance, taxes, insurance).
Use this land contract form for residential, condominiums and vacant land properties. Includes Installment payments schedule with or without a balloon payment.

I thought the website was good. But once I paid the money and downloaded the papers I needed for Grays Harbor. I had to end up calling a escrow company that we had worked with only to find out that they work with a slightly different version. The escrow company was kind enough to email me the version Grays Harbor recommends and uses. There is a chance I could use theses in the future.

I found that the product wasn't what I was looking for. But ordering the product was smooth and easy and when I notified them it wasn't the right product for my situation, they promptly refunded my credit card. If looking for docs again, I will try deeds.com again.
