The process was easy and cost was reasonable. My only suggestion is to allow user the ability to shorten the space between the county and state and the space after the month. I needed to draw a line at the courthouse before they would file it.

Ordered the Ohio Land Contract forms for Jefferson County. It was an awesome purchase for $28 bucks. Easy and straight forward for someone like me with no real estate background to make my own land contract and save a couple grand hiring an attorney to copy and paste one to me. I'll be buying the same package for every county I invest in!

It was very easy to use the website. I wish there was an option to pay for multiple documents at once instead of having to pay for each one individually.

I was quoted $525 to do the exact same thing from Deeds.com for only $25. Seems like a no brainer to me!
