New Mexico Contract for Deed

If a buyer who is interested in your property cannot qualify for conventional mortgage financing, you can assist by carrying part or all of the purchase price under this Contract for Deed (or Land Contract).

• Under the terms of this Contract, the seller effectively becomes the mortgage lender for the balance of the purchase money.
• Title will transfer to the buyer once payment in full of all principal and interest has been received by the seller.
• The seller has the right to take back the property if the buyer defaults in payment.
• At the seller's option, the balance can be repaid by monthly payments with or without interest until paid, or monthly payments with interest for a fixed number of payments with a balloon payment at the end to pay out the balance.

The New Mexico Contract for Deed form is available in MS Word format and easy to use.
