I am looking at buying around 40 acres in a place to potentially build a vacation house. The plan is to build in like 2-3 years.

What kind of vacant land terms and rates are available? I could put 10% or 20% down. Hell, we could pay cash but if rates on undeveloped land aren't bad, I'd rather go that route.

I would talk to a land bank about that. a traditional bank is only going to want to lend ~65% of the value.

Thanks. It's not near where I am now, so I will make some phone calls. I'm just trying to get some information because we are flying out here soon to look at it.

Call me 318-366-5225. I'm a lender on rural real estate and can do loans anywhere in the country.

Louisiana Land Bank was 4.875 at 15% down for 20 years when I checked back in April.

I can do everything from 1 month variable rates to 30 year fixed rate loans. The exact rate depends on the credit profile of the borrower. Rates are at an all time low right now and are ranging from the mid 2's up through the mid 4's and vary depending on the loan product chosen by the borrower. We have over 40 different options for amortization, term, and time rate is fixed.

Thanks dude-we're just now starting to think through a piece of land to build our retirement home, which will be rural...

No problem man. How many acres are you looking at?

Depends on several variables, but I don't see it being over 20.

Not to derail the thread but does the amount of acres affect the terms? I’m looking at land too and have heard people mention this.

Yes because it impacts the loan amount. Our minimum loan amount is $80k for new customers. So if someone was looking at 5 acres of pine trees somewhere rural, it wouldn’t qualify. If your buying a house and a couple acres then you should just get a home mortgage. Large loans can qualify for different products as well.
