Buying a Lot: Vendor Financed Land Purchase vs a Conventional Bank Mortgage

Purchasing bare land to eventually build your dream house is not quite as easy as purchasing an already built house. At Spring Lake Ranch we have creative ways to make land purchasing as easy as possible to facilitate all the aspects of building your dream home.

Traditional bank financing for land purchases

In Canada, traditional land purchase financing usually involves taking out a mortgage from a bank or other lender. Buyers must qualify for the loan, which requires them to provide evidence of their income, credit score and down payment amount. The interest rate and loan terms are based on the buyer’s credit worthiness. The process can take several weeks to complete and generally requires a high credit score in order to be approved. Once approved, buyers will have monthly payments that must be made until the loan is paid off. Unlike buying a home, a down payment for land purchase is often 50% of the purchase price or more!!

Flexible vendor backed financing for land purchases

At Spring Lake Ranch, we recognize the challenge of putting up 50% of the purchase price up front. Without necessarily having the home design, construction schedule, financing, and transferring the equity out of your own home while managing where you are going to live or navigating cash flow challenges that come with purchasing and building in Canada. This becomes tricky, expensive and downright overwhelming.
