A contract for deed is a way to buy real estate without getting a traditional mortgage upfront. 🏡 Instead of borrowing from a bank, the buyer makes payments directly to the seller. The buyer can typically take possession of the property, while the seller keeps legal title until the contract is paid off or its terms are fulfilled. Sounds like a win-win, right? Not always. ⚠️ Buyers need to understand the risks of default, existing mortgages, and who is responsible for taxes, insurance, and repairs. Sellers need to understand what happens if the buyer stops paying. Creative financing can open doors, but a bad contract can cost you the entire deal.
