We believe that land ownership should be tangible to anyone that wants to buy dirt! There is truly no other way to describe the feeling of standing on your own piece of dirt, other than to experience it for yourself. As a company we want to help as many people as we can to experience that feeling! While paying cash for land would be the ideal situation, we recognize that isn’t possible for everyone. With that in mind, we put our heads together with leaders in the industry to come up with a solution that would be a win-win for everyone, and we landed on owner financing.Â
Owner financing is an arrangement where the seller (Debrosland) acts as the lender, providing financing to the buyer (You) for the purchase of land. This method bypasses the traditional mortgage process, granting greater flexibility in terms of any financing arrangement a bank might offer. Please note, Debrosland will review your financial situation prior to approving a deal to ensure that you will be able to repay the land loan you undertake. With that in mind, know that our goal is to do a deal with you and to see you own the land free and clear.
While owner financing can present unique opportunities and benefits, it also carries inherent risks and considerations that necessitate careful evaluation. Below we have attached some resources for you, a breakdown of our owner finance underwriting process and reasons to consider owner financing. Please read this carefully and reach out to us with questions, we are here to help in your land investing journey!

#1. Accessible Financing: Traditional lenders often have stringent requirements for land loans, making it difficult for buyers to secure financing. Owner financing provides an alternative path to land ownership, especially for those who may not meet traditional lending criteria.

#3. Expanded Opportunity: Often times land ownership can be cut off to only those with cash. However, when owner financing is offered it opens up the possibility of land ownership to a wider range of buyers like you. This can be a game-changer, expanding options in making land ownership a reality.
#4. Potential for Better Financing: Often banks are set in stone on rules required to offer any financing.

This can be in the form of the down payment, interest rate, length of loan and other details.
