A land contract in Michigan grants buyers an equitable title to gain immediate control over the property. However, the legal title remains with the property owner until the fulfillment of the land contract. Furthermore, the interest rates on land contracts in Michigan cannot exceed 11%.
The land contract will also specify the duration of the payments. A land contract may have a term of 15 or 30 years like a conventional mortgage, or it may balloon after 3 or 5 years. Because land contract sellers are typically individuals or family companies, and not large corporations, shorter terms are more common.
(2) A land contract mortgage shall be in a form and shall be executed, acknowledged, and recorded in the same manner as provided for real estate mortgages.
A land contract is a contract between a buyer and private seller for real property that has a home on it. With a land contract, the buyer does not get full ownership of the property. The buyer is an owner, but they only get “equitable title” of the property.
Property must be zoned Residential or Agricultural and may consist of stand-alone parcels or land located in developed, platted subdivisions. Contact an MSGCU Mortgage Consultant if you're in the market for vacant land. Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans available for terms up to 30 years.
How Does Seller Financing Work? A bank isn't involved in a seller-financed sale; the buyer and seller make the arrangements themselves. They draw up a promissory note setting out the interest rate, the schedule of payments from buyer to seller, and the consequences should the buyer default on those obligations.
In particular, land contracts should be publicly recorded, enable borrowers to retain their investments in the home, not require balloon payments, and clearly enumerate the buyer's and seller's respective responsibilities during the contract term.
The land contract in Michigan should be signed in front of a notary public. Make a copy of the land contract for your records and send or deliver the original to the appropriate register of deeds office.
