A Contract for Deed is a form of owner financing. The buyer takes possession of the home and makes monthly payments under the contract. During the term of the agreement, the deed remains with Mi Casa Wichita. After all contractual obligations have been satisfied and the contract is paid in full, ownership is transferred to the buyer.

Mi Casa Wichita sells homes using a Contract for Deed agreement rather than a traditional bank mortgage. Monthly payments are made directly to us instead of a bank. Because we provide the financing, buyers can often purchase a home without going through the traditional mortgage approval process. Once the contract is completed, the deed is transferred to the buyer.
-
No. We do not use traditional credit-score requirements or bank underwriting standards. Because we provide the financing directly, we are able to evaluate each applicant individually.

Each home requires a minimum down payment of $2,000. Buyers are welcome to make a larger down payment if they choose. In most cases, every additional $10,000 applied toward the down payment reduces the monthly payment by approximately $100.
-
Yes. Each home includes a monthly escrow payment that is used to pay annual property taxes and property insurance. Because our insurance policy is primarily intended to protect the structure itself and carries a high deductible, we strongly recommend that residents obtain their own renter's or homeowner's insurance policy to protect personal belongings and provide additional liability coverage.
-
Yes. There are no prepayment penalties, payoff penalties, or refinancing penalties. Buyers may make additional principal payments or pay off their contract at any time.
