The Smart Seller's Guide
to Owner Financing in Texas
Unlock a whole new market of buyers, sell your land faster, and earn a great return. This guide breaks down the powerful strategy savvy Texas land sellers are using to close deals more effectively.
Why It's a Game-Changer
Offering owner financing provides five distinct advantages that give your property an immediate and powerful competitive edge.
Attract More Buyers
Access a larger pool of responsible individuals who can't secure traditional land loans.
Competitive Edge
Instantly stand out from other listings that don't offer flexible financing options.
Earn Steady Returns
Generate a consistent income stream, often with higher interest rates than banks offer.
You Control Terms
Negotiate the down payment, interest rate, and loan length to fit your financial goals.
Hands-Free
A third-party handles payments and paperwork, typically at no direct cost to you.
How It Works: The 4-Step Process
Partnering with a professional servicing company like TexStar Escrow makes the process simple, secure, and seamless. Here's how they handle everything for you.
Loan Setup
The buyer pays a one-time fee (~$200) to a servicing company to set up the loan.
Monthly Servicing
The buyer pays a monthly fee (~$50) for payment collection and fund deposits to you.
Tax Reporting
The servicer issues the required IRS forms (1099-INT & 1098) to make tax time a breeze.
Default Management
If needed, they work with an attorney to manage foreclosure, with costs structured to be the buyer's responsibility.
Visualizing Your Return
Owner financing doesn't just sell your land; it turns it into an income-generating asset. See how a typical deal breaks down and the competitive returns you can earn.
Sample Loan Breakdown
This example shows a $50,000 sale with a $10,000 down payment financed over 10 years at 12% APR. Over the life of the loan, you earn over $28,000 in interest alone.
Competitive Interest Rates
Owner-financed loans can command higher APRs than traditional bank loans, providing a significant return. Short-term financing can see even higher rates.
