Owner financed homes and land in Lake Charles

With owner financing, the seller acts as the bank and you make payments to them instead of a lender. It can help buyers who don't fit a traditional loan, and it's especially common on land. These are listings in Lake Charles where the seller says they'll consider it.

Before you sign an owner-financed deal

Get the terms in writing: price, down payment, interest rate, length and any balloon payment. Use a title company, make sure the deal is recorded, and have your own agent or attorney review the contract. Ask whether the seller still owes money on the property.
