I am referring to information found at www.wikipedia.com. They have excellent information on all different kinds of terms for real estate investing. I use the site often for getting information on all different types things on various subjects.
A contract for deed is a contract between a buyer and seller on a property. The seller provides a loan or finances the buyer for the property for an agreed to purchase price. The buyer repays the loan in monthly payments or whatever payment schedule is agreed to. The seller retains the legal title to the property, allowing the buyer to take possession of the property other than legal ownership. When the full purchase price has been paid including any interest, the seller then transfers legal title of the property to the buyer. In some cases the seller may require a down payment from the buyer. I hope that this information helps!

What Shawn said is correct. The only thing you need to be mindful of is that removing "owner/tenant" from a contract for deed (land contract) MAY have to be done as a foreclosure instead of an eviction. It depends on the equity portion that they have in the home.Different states have different amounts. A lot of them use 20% or 10%. But in a couple of states, from my memory, the amount can be as low as 5%. Just know the law and write your contract for deed in your best interest; depending if you are the seller or the buyer.

There are some differences between the two. Her is one example
In a lease purchase you are not paying the principle balance down. You are leasing and you can have an option to purchase the property. When you do purchase the property you have to get financing for the agreed purchase price for the property'
In a contract for deed you are paying the payment with interest. It works more like a mortgage.

Contract for deed, land contract, private real estate note, etc. are all similar forms of Seller Financing. Seller Financing is when the seller of a property allows you to buy their home by make payments to them. Sometimes the sellers still have a mortgage on the property, if so you would create a wrap-around mortgage. This is a great technique that Randy Vaughan has really mastered.
Wish you well.
