The owner of our leased place has not been willing to put money into it for many years and now decided to sell. He did not know what he wanted and he was not willing to pay a realtor - - so we paid for an appraisal, and paid for a purchase agreement, and then offered 100% of appraised value. He said he wanted more ... and we said to transfer the grazing lease to the next owner.
Now he has come back proposing a contract for deed. I think he realized that paying 5% to the realtor out of what a leased property will bring may not be a great idea.
To clean this place up we need to burn a couple building and redo all the corrals. To make this place cash flow we will need to lime and seed and fence and buy more stockers... What are the downsides of doing this on a contract for deed property?
