A New LANDFLIP.com Poll Shows Most Land Buyers Won't Rely on Bank Financing for Near Future Land Purchases
In a recent poll conducted by LANDFLIP.com, more than 30 percent of respondents indicated that they plan to use cash, savings or equity to fund land purchases in the near future; while less than 25 percent still plan to rely on bank financing.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 15, 2008 -- As stocks in the United States continue to drop fueled by the collapse of banks and real-estate investment trusts, an increasing number of land buyers are using cash, savings and equity, among other methods, to fund land purchases. In a recent poll conducted by LANDFLIP.com, 31 percent of respondents indicated they plan to use cash, savings or equity to fund land purchases in the near future. Only 24 percent indicated that they will rely on bank financing.
"As the mortgage industry continues to come under scrutiny and stricter regulations are enforced, buyers are still finding ways to take advantage of the market, even if they have to use their own cash," said Ryan Folk, founder of LANDFLIP.com. "It's a clear indication that regardless of changes in the banking and mortgage industries, savvy buyers and investors are still aggressively looking for profitable opportunities in the market and seizing them, and that land is still one of the hottest commodities in real estate."
Of the remaining poll respondents, 29 percent reported that they will use owner financing. For others, 1031 Exchange funds, lease purchases and self directed IRAs followed as additional preferred methods of financing land deals with 7.22 percent, 5.7 percent and 1.96 percent of respondents respectively. The poll was conducted over a period of several weeks on the LANDFLIP.com website, and is still ongoing.
