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.

Communication is hard. The reps need to be empowered and encouraged to call the customers when necessary. They encourage 300 dpi resolution and under 2 MB PDF file, which is not even possible with our scanner. They made a vague comment about a legal description looking abbreviated but did not explain. They refused to call me. They said the county said "Image is light please darken", but the image looked fine to me. Maybe not their fault, but they refused to help work with the county on that for me. I followed their suggestion though and re-scanned at 300 dpi, but they misunderstood me and did not re-submit it right away. Over 48 hours later, it's still not recorded yet. I hope it will be today.

The purchasing process was very slick and my credit card was charged IMMEDIATELY. The deliver went well as the link was provided immediately. However I asked a question via the "Contact Us" link and days later I get a survey but no reply. I may have been directed to the wrong forms via my County and I wanted to confirm that...but still no answer. What would that deserve as a rating???

I'm typing along and suddenly I can't fit anything more into the page and there's plenty of room. This is my 2nd time using this site. No problem the first time years ago. Now it's an issue, looks like I'll need a typewriter to finish the form. Where do I find a typewriter?!! I can't complete the legal description!

Reply from Staff

Thanks for your feedback Nora. If you are unable to find a typewriter you can always do as the guide suggests and use the included exhibit page.

I was unable to end up going through with the deed process on my own as it was out of my realm. I suspect if I knew what I was actually doing when completing a deed, it would of been sufficient. I ended up having to go through an attorney to complete the deed.

Glad to hear you sought the assistance of a legal professional familiar with your specific situation, we always recommend that to anyone who is not completely sure of what they are doing. Have a wonderful day.
