Questions answered? Let's get started!

Based on Tennessee law and common real estate practice, Installment Land Contracts (Contracts for Deed) are most effective in the following situations:
1. Buyers with Limited Financing Options: Ideal for buyers who cannot qualify for traditional mortgage loans due to limited credit history, insufficient down payment, or other financial barriers. These contracts allow access to property ownership without third-party lenders and often feature more flexible qualification standards.

2. Hard-to-Finance or Nontraditional Properties: Well-suited for properties that conventional lenders avoid — such as undeveloped land, rural acreage, or mixed-use buildings. Sellers can facilitate transactions that might otherwise stall, expanding the potential buyer pool.

3. Seller-Financed Income Stream: Attractive for sellers seeking steady installment income rather than a lump-sum sale. Payments can provide a predictable cash flow, often at a favorable interest rate, and may allow capital gains to be reported over time under IRS installment sale rules. This is common for investment or commercial properties, or among retirees seeking passive income.

4. Quick, Low-Cost Transactions: In periods of tight credit or high interest rates, installment contracts provide an efficient, low-cost alternative to traditional financing. They can minimize closing costs by avoiding lender fees, appraisals, and extensive underwriting — enabling faster transactions, especially in growth markets such as Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga.

5. Bridge to Full Ownership: Useful for buyers planning to refinance or pay off the balance within a defined term — often five to ten years. This “bridge” structure allows buyers to build equity while using or improving the property, with final title delivered upon full payment.

Advantages
Buyers: Easier qualification than mortgages; lower upfront and closing costs; immediate possession; opportunity to build equity and achieve ownership despite credit challenges.
Sellers: Predictable income stream; deferred recognition of taxable gains; retention of title as security; ability to sell property “as-is” without lender requirements.
Both Parties: Flexibility to negotiate terms, payment schedules, and interest rates; simplified documentation and faster closings compared to conventional lending.
Mortgage tax could be due per Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-4-409(b)(1) unless exempt. an Oath of Consideration is attached to the document.
“Prior to the public recordation of any instrument evidencing an indebtedness, including, but not limited to, mortgages, deeds of trust, conditional sales contracts, financing statements … there shall be paid a tax … of 11.5¢ on each $100 of indebtedness so evidenced.”

LOVE THIS!! I am a REALTORand from time to time I have had to take documents for filing. I'm so glad I invested some time online researching eFiling services. The first few search results that populated required an expensive annual or monthly subscription. Luckily I continued to scroll and found Deeds.com. No annual or monthly subscription required. Just pay per use. I uploaded a ROL late one night and Deed.com had it eFiled the very next morning!!! They keep you updated throughout the process via email notifications which you click on the link provided in the email that directs you to your online portal to view the status and once your documents have been filed you can immediately download the filed of record documents including the receipt from the county in which the documents were filed. SO SIMPLE, CONVENIENT, & QUICK-THANK YOU DEEDS.com!!!

I ordered the wrong forms at first because I'm an idiot and didn't do my research. When I told the customer service about my error they were understanding.

Using Deeds.com was unbelievably quick and easy to file a deed restriction with our local county office. From uploading the initial file to deeds.com, to having a fully recorded document was right on one hour - and all from the comfort of my home. I found your service was easy to use and your staff were very quick in responding to my filing. I will definitely use and recommend deeds.com in the future.

Extremely easy and fast recording of real estate records. I was impressed that it was less than 6 hours from the time I uploaded the document to Deeds.com to receiving confirmation that it was recorded by the county clerk. I would highly recommend this service to save you time and quickly get documents recorded!
