Application for owner financing on this house is free.

It's only looking for two things.

A, you've had the same job/income for more then three months to show job history.

B, that you have a household income of three times a monthly payment(This can include 2 adults, living in the home that are willing to sign the land contract, if that helps.)

That's it! You will be approved if you meet just those two requirements. We do not use credit scores or background checks for the approval process.

We do not hold houses

Bad credit or no credit not a problem!

Please do not spend money on Zillow. We do not use their application and ours is free!

The seller knows how hard it is to save up for a new home and they don't want you to have to sacrifice a family vacation this summer so this house comes with a free gift of an Airbnb 2 night stay in either Gatlinburg Tennessee or Lake Geneva WI as a thank you gift (you would just need to pay for travel, gas and food )

    "I feel the police presence is needed more but other than that it’s an OK neighborhood . The younger generation use the streets as a race track with no concern of the kids that are on the block for that reason I feel the police presence is needed more but other than that the street lights and well lit I don’t feel too much danger because I know the neighbors in this neighborhood"
