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.

1

Loan Setup

The buyer pays a one-time fee (~$200) to a servicing company to set up the loan.

2

Monthly Servicing

The buyer pays a monthly fee (~$50) for payment collection and fund deposits to you.

3

Tax Reporting

The servicer issues the required IRS forms (1099-INT & 1098) to make tax time a breeze.

4

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.
