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 followed the instructions to download the form for my Mac, typed in the legal description of the real property but the space provided for it would not expand so I just typed the form into Word as a document. While I appreciate having the form to work with it would have been a breeze if it worked properly.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Found the forms I needed but had to type these out my self in Word since these forms do not allow any information to be saved. I understand you want this to be proprietary information but you failed to deliver a usable product. I printed this template and built my own in microsoft word. Good examples and instructions with poor execution. I lost hours of typing and nearly lost real estate deals due to these documents not being in a format ready to use. Will be using another service next time or buying these as guides alone.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Sorry to hear of the struggle you had using our forms. We will look into the issues you reported to see what we can do to provide a better product. For your trouble we have provided a full refund of your order.
