In this episode, Scott walks you through 56 properties that offer owner financing, meaning:
- Low down payments and low monthly payments
- No bank loan required
- No credit check
- Direct seller financing on many listings
You’ll hear quick highlights, pricing, and what each lot is best for (recreation, off-grid, long-term hold, etc.), plus Scott’s real-world advice on negotiating terms when the math feels off.
Key takeaways
- Owner financing is the shortcut around banks. You’re buying land directly from a seller who provides the payment plan.
- “Ben Franklin properties” are the ones with payments under $100. Scott flags these as a great entry point for buyers who want to start small.
- Match the land to your purpose. Scott repeatedly emphasizes aligning your plan (camping, off-grid, long-term investing) with the specific lot’s features.
- Land is a long-term asset with low holding costs. Taxes are often low, so the carrying cost can be minimal compared to other investments.
- Negotiation is part of the game. When terms don’t add up cleanly, Scott explains how he’d structure an offer and why many buyers miss opportunities by not negotiating.
