Q.What kind of financing is available?
With our strong commitment to building communities, we work with a local bank that provides outstanding service to our owners. We also can provide owner financing for families with less-than-perfect credit, generally with a15 to 20% down payment. The typical owner finance scenario calls for a 20% down payment with the remainder financed at 10% for either 10, 15 or 20 years. On a $48,000 site, that works out to $9,600 down and about $375 per month.

Q.What are the requirements for construction?
All our sites are guaranteed to be buildable and construction can begin as soon as you close. However, there is no requirement that you build a home within a certain timeframe. We do have deed restrictions that require a minimum 1,200-square- foot home.

Q. Can we drive up to the community if we happen to be in the area?
Absolutely, but please call or email our office a minimum of three days prior to your planned arrival. Walk-ins are welcomed, however, you may have to wait for an agent to become available.

Q. What is the cost of living in the Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau?
Tennessee has no personal state income tax, very low real estate taxes, low utility bills, low construction costs and even our insurance rates are below the national average. According to a recent survey by the American Commerce Research Association, it costs nearly 17% less to live here than the national average. Your dollar will go along way – plus you’ll be living in one of the most beautiful areas of the country!

Q. What size are the lots?
Homesites range in size from two to more than eight acres and all are turn-key. Electric, water, and telephone utilities are available and homesites are accessible by paved road.

Q. How much does the land cost?
Across the board, available home sites average about four acres at an average cost of $14,360 per acre, an undeniable value if you’ve been looking at land in the Carolinas where prices may be over $70,000 per acre.

Q. Do you offer land financing? And if so, what are your rates and terms?
Yes, we offer excellent financing with several flexible plans including owner financing. Our rates are very competitive and equitable.

Q. Is it difficult to qualify for a land loan?
No! Our financing plans and terms are excellent and we are confident that we can tailor a plan that fits any budget. Like most lenders, to get the best rates and to put the least amount down, you must have good credit. However, if you had some credit problems in the past, we probably have a program for you that may include owner financing through our corporation.
