Questions to take into the decision
- Is repayment supported by income, outside cash or a sale?
- Does the maturity arrive before the debt amortizes?

Answers about this planning method. Confirm actual loan and property terms with the appropriate source.
Why can a land loan still have debt due after regular payments?
A maturity shorter than the amortization leaves a balance at that date. The land example displays this balloon rather than assuming it is refinanced.
Does the model establish permitted land use or collateral eligibility?
No. Parcel access, zoning, intended use and the lender’s collateral requirements need property-specific review. Acreage alone does not decide those questions.
Is construction funding already included?
No. The land loan and a later construction draw plan are separate scenarios. Model the timing and conditions of each funding stage explicitly.
