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.

At first glance, explanations and guidance to fill out the grant deed seems quite direct and no too difficult. I did not see any reference to a mortgagee which I believe needs to be incorporated in a boundary line adjustment (BLA), though not sure I'll do the actual filling out the form in the next couple of weeks and will be in a better position for a more complete review.

In California, the recorder charges a $75 fee for EVERY PAGE of any document related to real estate, with a $225 maximum. So the easement deed this company made is 3 pages, when it could easily have fit in 2 pages (including the notary page). So they just cost me an extra $75. Do better!

Reply from Staff

Thanks for the feedback. One correction, because it matters for anyone reading this: California's $75 fee (SB 2, Government Code 27388.1) is charged per document title, not per page, and the $225 cap applies to transactions with multiple documents or titles. Page count only affects the base recording fee, which is $3 per additional page. A three-page easement deed carries the same $75 as a two-page one would. Recording fees are set and collected by the county, not by Deeds.com, and the county recorder's published fee schedule is the place to confirm what you were charged.
