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.”
For use in Tennessee only.

I was not able to use the form after paying for it. The words in red would not let me type over them and I could not get a blank document. Useless.
Each forms package includes a blank form, a guide, and a completed example. The red text appears in the completed example to show how a finished document may look; the blank form is the editable document intended for customer use. Because our products are do-it-yourself legal forms, we canceled the order and payment when it was clear the customer was not able to identify and use the blank form included in the package.

I had no clue how to write an easement termination, and I did not want to pay an attorney for it, so I ordered the instructions and form. It was very helpful to have a completed sample. I am satisfied and confident in the document I produced.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Great forms - I got several property deeds and really appreciated that they came with the required state forms (for NY). the sample completed form is also really helpful. Attorney wanted hundreds- with this form it is the same amount of work but I can file myself for the cost of lunch!!
