Answer Ronald, Obviously the answer is to finance it with our company! Visit: www.landloanspecialists.com No, in all seriousness this is our niche. Farm, ranch, and recreational real estate loans are all that we do. To answer your questions specifically the property having a home does not impact our rates or terms. We can finance these types of properties up to 30 years. However, it is my understanding that a lot of our competitors in TX are offering only products that have a balloon option at 5 or 10 years. Our loan products do not balloon. Short term interest rates have continued to decline and today we have a rate as low as 3.95%! In my entire career I never thought I would be able to tell a client I could loan them money under 4%. Typical down payment requirements are usually around 25% depending upon your overall financial position.
