Questions answered? Let's get started!
Common uses:
1. Buyer Cannot Obtain Traditional Financing
The buyer may not qualify for a mortgage due to:
Poor credit
Limited employment history
Lack of down payment
A Contract for Deed allows the buyer to make monthly payments directly to the seller, like a private loan.
2. Seller Wants to Keep Control Until Paid in Full
Seller retains legal title as security.
If the buyer defaults, the seller can cancel the contract through statutory forfeiture under N.D.C.C. Chapter 32‑18.
3. Family or Private Sales
Often used in:
Intra-family transactions (e.g., selling to children)
"Rent-to-own" type arrangements
Private seller-financed sales of rural or agricultural property
4. Agricultural or Rural Property Sales
Used to allow gradual ownership over larger tracts of land.
Reduces need for third-party financing and fees.
5. Investor or Rehab Property Sales
Sellers may use a contract for deed to sell fixer-uppers or homes needing repair to investors or owner-occupants who intend to renovate during the term of the contract.

I was extremely pleased with this experience, which literally took a minimum amount of time. One recommendation: make certain that when documents are uploaded that they have been received in the appropriate file. The lack of clarity caused me to upload twice or three times. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Excellent full set of documents with example and guidelines on how to do it ourselves without paying a lawyer. Or, we save legal fees by completing it ourselves and having a lawyer review it. Love that I can save the pdf and fill it out whenever I want. Thank you for having this available!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The DOCUMENT AND INFORMATION WAS JUST WHAT I WANTED AND NEEDED. HOWEVER, NAVIGATING THE ON LINE PROCESS WAS A PROBLEM.. AT ONE POINT IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD PAID FOR THE PRODUCT AND LOST CONTACT WITH THE SYSTEM. I FINALLY GOT TO PRINT WHAT I PURCHASED. FOR SUCH I WOULD ONLY GIVE A FOUR STAR RATING.
Thank you, James. We're glad the documents and information met your needs, and we appreciate you pointing out the navigation issue. Feedback like this helps us improve the ordering experience. Thank you for your review and your business.
