The For Sale By Owner Land Contract serves as an alternative financing mechanism in U.S. real estate transactions where traditional mortgage financing may be unavailable or undesirable. This contract type enables property owners to sell directly to buyers through installment payments, typically including a down payment followed by regular installments with interest. The seller retains legal title until the purchase price is fully paid, while the buyer gains equitable title and property possession. Commonly used in situations involving credit-challenged buyers or when sellers prefer to generate steady income through property financing.
