Land Loan Refinance Frequently Asked Questions

Common reasons include:

  • Lower your payments: This will reduce your fixed costs and breakeven to make your operation more competitive. 
  • Provide cash flow relief: If the cash going out of an operation is greater than the cash coming in, the money has to come from somewhere. Without a solution like refinancing, producers might be forced to dip into working capital or make decisions that aren't in the best interest of their business, such as selling a load or two of grain just to pay bills.
  • Help retain working capital. Cash liquidity, or working capital, is important to every operation. Working capital is your short-term risk-bearing ability, and it is hard to run a business without it.

Fees associated with real estate often include title work, appraisal, abstracts, filing/recording, flood determination, closing fee, buyer's search and secondary costs/fees and others. Fees are the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise outlined or negotiated. 

*Does not apply to farm construction loans or Rural 1st loans.
