Fees associated with real estate often include title work, appraisal, abstracts, filing/recording, flood determination and others. Fees are the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise outlined or negotiated.
Our loan payment calculator is a great tool to help you understand how much you’ll be paying for the land. You can calculate payments based on the principal amount, interest rate and term of the loan. Factor in your local real estate tax rates and you’ll have a realistic idea of the cost of owning the land.
A great way to figure out if you can service the debt associated with a land purchase is to run some scenarios using our affordability calculator. Quickly try different combinations of loan terms, commodity types, yields, prices and down payments to find out if a land purchase is feasible for your operation.
