Have you ever bought land, tried for a quick flip, and failed?
Possibly you’ve tried to sell vacant land for months with out receiving one telephone call or e-mail.
That’s okay, since there’s a way you can turn vacant land into monthly income. And it is not that difficult to do.
(Just before we go any further, I’m going to tell you a small about myself, so you can really feel reassured that I’m not some sort of Genuine Estate whiz. I’m 38. I’ve been getting and selling land for about two years. I do not have a RE license. And I’m a college drop out.)
If you want to turn land into monthly income, this is what you do. I have utilized this approach to earn a monthly income on some properties that I own. You can, too.
This is what you do:
1) Call a nearby realtor and find out the value of your land lot. If you really feel weird asking a realtor for the value of the land lot as you’re not intending to use him to sell your land, you can flip via a local genuine estate magazine or go to the MLS (Several Listing Service) to get an notion of what your land is worth.
two) Figure out, via talking with realtors, brokers, and looking through actual estate magazines, what the land is worth. Write this number down.
three) Pay a visit to: www.calculator.com. Then, click on “mortgage calculator” button. At the new page, click on “mortgage payment calculator”. At that page, fill in the blanks. Essentially, you’re making an amortization (mortgage) schedule for your property. This way, you’ll get a monthly income from selling it, and benefit an individual who desires to own land but can afford to pay for it in 1 lump sum.
4) Pay a visit to your land lot. Take photos of the land, employing a digital camera. If you don’t have one, borrow 1 from a friend. Offer to help them around the house or some other type of barter that they value in exchange for them letting you borrow their camera and sending you the pictures through e-mail.
five) Go to:

LandContractForSelling.html
Or, check out:
www.totalrealestatesolutions.com and search for contracts.
Print up this contract. Make a few copies, or make a couple of prints. If you want an additional contract, search www.google.com for “free contract for deed forms”. You may have to dig five-20 pages back to uncover 1.
6) Go to: www.craigslist.com. Search around for your state and city. Then, click on “real estate”. Post an ad for your land lot, some thing like this:
Own land in ____________ for only _______ a month. No credit checks necessary. Pay off early at any time with no pre-payment penalties. Only _____ lot(s) left. So hurry!
7) Add photos to the ad. Post the ad wherever you think folks may possibly be interested in your land.
To sum it up, you are selling your land with financing at a percentage rate that will present you income each and every month. You can do this with a contract for deed, so that the buyer does not obtain the deed unless he pays off the property.
9) Within the terms, I allow the buyer to pay off early without having any pre-payment penalties, and I permit them to pay a visit to, build, camp, garden on the land while they are paying for it. I’ve done this twice so far via Ebay and each buyers quit paying on the land. Written into the contract was a statement that if buyer fails to pay following thirty days, I can demand the entire payment due. In both situations, I took back the contract and one is below contract once again, and one more is due to go below contract soon.
Ironically, both buyers, the original buyers, had diverse downpayments. 1 of them paid $ 102.50. The other had a downpayment somewhere in the region of $ 1,000 dollars. At the end of the day, I kept both downpayments and their monthly payments.
It is not that I’m happy that they didn’t make the payment. To be honest, I wish they had. The outcome though is that the land goes back to the ownership of the seller so he can resell, with financing, to one more buyer.
Selling land with financing allows the buyers to get land with little or no cash down and monthly payments that they can afford, and it permits the seller to make a monthly income. It’s a win-win.
