• IF I FINANCE THE PROPERTY, TO WHOM DO I MAKE MY PAYMENTS AND HOW WILL I KNOW I HAVE RECEIVED PROPER CREDIT FOR MY PAYMENTS?
We do not do credit checks and you are instantly qualified to purchase. We have our own in-house financing available. Your payments will be made to Classic Country Land, LLC. You can choose to make your monthly payments online on our Make A Payment portal or sign up for Autopay. Note: There is an $18 monthly servicing fee on all contracts; this fee can be waived if the buyer elects easy monthly automated payments.

There is absolutely no prepayment penalty. Your monthly payment is applied to your account balance using simple interest on the unpaid balance. All extra monthly payments will be applied directly to the principal. All extra payments will directly lower your balance, reducing the overall interest you pay on your purchase.

• DOES A BUYER HAVE TO BUILD A HOUSE WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME?
A buyer is never obligated to a timeframe to build on their property.

• CAN I RESELL MY PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE AND MAKE A PROFIT?
While there is no guarantee of profit from any land sale, historically land prices have increased in value. We believe there are many reasons for this upward trend, including inflation, population growth, a decreasing land supply, the public’s desire for a more natural environment, the trend toward movement away from urban areas, and the increasing popularity of outdoor recreational activities.

• CAN I MAKE AN OFFER AND WHAT KINDS OF DISCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE?
Offers are discouraged as the properties are priced for immediate sale under our “No Haggle” pricing policy. Discounts are based on the finance plan that you choose.

• WHY ARE SOME PROPERTIES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHERS?
The properties have been priced according to our “A B C” analysis and consideration of the proximity of the parcels to existing electricity. “A B C” stands for Access, Beauty, and Character. In other words, how good, quick, or easy is the access to the property from the main highway or county road. The beauty of the property mainly pertains to the vegetation and scenery. The character of the property refers mainly to its topography, for example: Is the parcel flat, rolling, steep, etc.
