bank for investment land

I went through Whitney bank when I purchased 5 acres in 2015. If you have 10 percent down and the appraised value of the land comes back according to purchase price you should be good to go.
Last week I called the same banker I used in 2015 to finance a 92 acre tract and he said that they couldn't finance any raw land > 10 acres.
Now I'm just starting this process with Louisiana land bank. No details yet

looking at similar and what I have found is Southern Ag credit and first south farm credit will offer 30 years fixed at 5-6% and require 20% down, LA land bank 20 years fixed and 20% down

Any farm credits will do 30 years

Not according to the loan officer at LA land bank I talked to, they only go to 20 years

Tell me more about this? I just signed the purchase agreement on a 92 acre tract and I'm looking for the best finance options with 20% down.
Did you use louisiana land bank, Southern Ag credit or South farm credit?

You are a step ahead of me, we are still in negotiations, but first south farm credit seems to be the best fit for me, offering 20% down and 30 years fixed at or just below 6%, plus they give you a little back each year if the company does well (as do the others you listed) I have been talking with Ashley at the Zachary office and she has been very helpful

As far as being a tree farmer , does the land you are buying have timber, have the potential to grow timber? If so you can be a tree farmer and deduct expenses associated with

If not, they still do loans on recreational land

Good luck

Where is your 92 acres?
