I can't think of a situation where there would be a waiting period after paying off a Land Contract. The next step for you is to contact a local lender to go through your qualifications and determine your maximum loan amount. Your loan will be considered a "cash out" refinance and the percent of your home's value will be limited depending on the loan type you and your lender choose. I'd suggest reaching out to friends and family in your area to find an experienced loan officer that can walk you through this process.

More info needed, specifically, when did you purchase the property? Buy the short answer is No.. There are waiting periods for refinancing if you purchased the property inside of the last 6 months.. it can be done even if you purchased it a month ago, but your maximum loan amount could be restricted to a percentage of the lower of the sale price or newly appraised value. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com NMLS# 226347 / LendUS, NMLS 1938/ AZMB0121893

Good question and congrats on paying off your contract. If you just paid off the contract... and the assumption is that you had it for a while... my underwriter should not require any extra "wait time". Drop me a line at Steve@StevenBrandHomeLoans.com and I can ask a couple other questions to see what your ultimate goal is.

Not that I am aware of. You don't even have to pay it off, you can refinance a contract for deed into a traditional loan. I do contract for deed payoff refinance loans all the time. Go to my web page about this subject at https://joemetzler.com/refinance-contract-for-deed.htm. I am also licensed in Wisconsin, so I can actually help you do this too.
