A Contract for Deed is sometimes also know as a Land Contract, Agreement for Deed, Contract Sale or Real Estate Installment Agreement. This type of Document allows the Seller to retain the title to the property and agree to transfer the title to the Buyer once all the payments under the Agreement are made and all other obligations are met. In essence, the Seller finances the purchase and holds the title or deed as security. When the Buyer completes the required payments, the Seller must deliver valid legal title by way of a deed. During the period of the contract, the Buyer makes installment payments on the purchase price and is entitled to possession and equitable title to the property. The Seller holds legal title and continues to be liable for payment of any underlying mortgage.

Iowa Real Estate Disclosure Kit
CLICK HERE TO ORDER

In addition to the federal requirement to disclose information regarding lead in a home, many states have adopted laws requiring some form of disclosure regarding sales of residential real estate, most often in the form of a Real Estate Disclosure Statement (also referred to as a Property Condition Disclosure Report, Disclosure Document and Condition Report).

Under the strictest laws, the seller is required to disclose all facts that materially affect the value or desirability of the property which are known or are accessible only to him or her.

This kit includes:
i) a questionnaire that will help you prepare for your disclosure statement;
ii) a basic real estate disclosure form for use in states that do not have specific statutory requirements or have not provided official forms; and
iii) links to official forms for those states that have specific statutory requirements or a state supplied form. These forms are provided at no additional charge.

This kit can be used in Iowa.
