Explore Your
Land Buying Options
Financing for raw, unimproved land is very difficult to obtain through conventional means. Most banks don’t even offer a land loan program and those that do typically require at least 1/3 down and charge high fees, points, and other charges, and closings take months to occur. New York Land & Lakes offers “In-House” financing that is very easy and affordable and there are NO application fees, appraisal charges or pre-payment penalties!
Find Out The
Advantages to each option
Cash
By paying cash, you will save on interest and closing costs.
Home Equity Loan
Many of our customers use the equity they already have in their homes to borrow against to pay for their land purchase. It’s generally a loan at a much lower interest rate and the interest can be written off.
Conventional Bank Loan
Local banks can sometimes write land loans, but they typically charge many fees and take a long time to close.
Buying with an IRA (Individual Retirement Account)
Many don’t know this, but real estate can be purchased with IRA funds without paying penalties and deferring taxes on the gains.
Borrowing Against a 401k
You may be able to borrow against your 401K.
