Real estate installment contracts are a financing option that allows for periodic payments instead of a lump sum payment. Also known as a land contract, contract for deed, or contract for sale in the real estate industry.
An instalment sale agreement between you and a credit provider allows you to buy a vehicle or asset using the principal debt, which you repay by means of regular instalments over an agreed period, with fees and interest.
An installment contract is a single contract that is completed by a series of performances –such as payments, performances of a service, or delivery of goods–rather than being performed all at one time.
A State law (RCW 63.14. 154) also gives you three business days to cancel a retail installment contract made with a door-to-door salesman, regardless of the amount.
