An agreement for deed (also called a land contract, contract for deed, bond for deed or installment land contract) is a form of creative seller financing. Instead of getting a loan from a bank, the seller gives you the loan to buy their property and make payments to the seller. The main difference between this and a typical mortgage is with a mortgage you get title then make payments whereas with an agreement for deed it's the other way around. Here's the thing though - when you negotiate a mortgage with a bank you can be sure that all the terms will be in their favor. When you're negotiating with an individual, being creative in how you structure a deal can mean your agreement is much more flexible and beneficial to you! As a buyer, although you're not on the title you do have equitable rights protected by law, however there are a few additional things I recommend in order to further protect yourself.
