Stop Paying Rent, Start Building Your Future
Every month you pay rent, you're handing over hundreds of dollars and getting nothing back. Your landlord builds equity. You get... another 30 days of not being evicted. Then it starts all over again.
There's a better way.
For $125/Month-A fraction of what most people pay in rent-you can own this 0.43-Acre corner lot in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas. Power on the property. Water at the street. Paved road access. Walking distance to Crown Lake and Veterans Park.
No landlord. No wasted rent payments. Just you building equity from day one.
For $349 down, you can transform from renter to landowner.
Why This Property Changes Everything for First-Time Buyers
The Rental Trap:
You pay $800, $1,000, maybe $1,200 every month. Over five years, that's $48,000 to $72,000 spent with absolutely nothing to show for it. Your landlord gets richer. You stay stuck.
The Ownership Path:
You pay $125/Month for 45 months. That's $5,625 total, and at the end, you own 0.43 acres in Arkansas free and clear. Land you can build on, sell, hold as investment, or pass down to your kids.
Every payment builds Your future, not your landlord's.
Everything You Need Is Already Here
No Complicated Setup:
Most people think buying land means dealing with wells, septic, bringing power lines from miles away, and spending thousands before you can even start. Not this property.
Here's what's already done for you:
• Power on the property-electricity ready to connect
• Water available-fire hydrant at the street means municipal water access
• Paved road-year-round access, no mud or difficult drives
• Level corner lot-easy to build on, premium location
• Cell tower nearby-strong signal for work and staying connected
• Walk to Crown Lake-recreation and beautiful views steps away
• Walk to Veterans Park-community gathering spot close by
Translation: The expensive, complicated stuff is handled. You can focus on your dream, not infrastructure problems.
Your Path from Renter to Landowner
Cash Price: $4,990 + $249 doc fee
Owner Financing Available:
Here's how ownership becomes possible even on a working-class budget:
• Get started for $349 total (includes $249 doc fee + $100 down payment)
• Pay just $125/Month for 45 months
• No credit check-past mistakes don't define your future
• No bank approval-no rejection letters, no complicated paperwork
• Deed transferred when paid-filed officially in your name
Within four years, you're a landowner. Compare that to four more years of rent receipts.

The Corner Lot Advantage
Why Corner Lots Are More Valuable:
This isn't just any lot-it's a corner lot, which means several advantages:
• More road frontage and visibility
• Better access from two sides
• Often more desirable for resale
• Extra space and flexibility for design
• Premium positioning in the neighborhood
Corner lots typically command higher prices. You're getting this advantage at an entry-level price.
Live On Your Land While Building
The Smart Way to Save Money:
Here's a strategy many first-time landowners use:
After you secure the property, move an RV or camper onto the lot. Horseshoe Bend allows this for up to one year while you're building.
What this means:
• No rent payments while you're making land payments
• Save thousands in housing costs
• Take your time planning and building
• Get to know the community firsthand
Build What You Can Afford, When You're Ready
No Pressure, Real Options:
The 1,000 sq ft (900 heated) minimum is actually generous for affordable building:
• Small 2-bedroom home you can afford to heat and maintain
• Cozy cabin that fits a working-class budget
• Traditional home when you save up
• Tiny house expanded to meet requirements
You're not forced into a $200,000 construction project. You can build modestly, smartly, and within your means.
Between Lake and Park: Location That Delivers
Crown Lake Access:
Walking distance means you can enjoy lake life without the premium lakefront price:
• Swimming in summer heat
• Fishing whenever you want
• Peaceful lake views and sunsets
• Kayaking and water recreation
• Community boat launch access
Veterans Park Nearby:
Community gathering spot with:
• Recreational facilities
• Community events and festivals
• Meeting neighbors and building friendships
• Safe outdoor space
This location gives you recreation and community without isolation.
Why Edge Hill Works for First-Time Owners
Proven Neighborhood:
Edge Hill isn't some experimental development. It's an established subdivision where people have successfully built homes and created lives.
What this means for you:
• Proof that building here works (neighbors did it successfully)
• Clear, simple rules (no confusing regulations)
• Established infrastructure (roads, utilities in place)
• Safe, stable area (not a risky investment)
• Real community (not an empty subdivision)
When you're buying your first land, you want to know others have made it work. They have.

The Real Math: Rent vs. Ownership
Current Situation (Renting):
Month 1-45: Pay $800-1,200 in rent each month
Total paid over 45 months: $36,000-54,000
What you own at the end: Absolutely nothing
This Property (Owning):
Month 1-45: Pay $125/Month toward this land
Total paid over 45 months: $5,625
What you own at the end: 0.43 acres in Arkansas, free and clear
The difference is staggering. One path leads nowhere. The other leads to ownership.
No Perfect Credit Needed
Your Past Doesn't Trap Your Future:
Most first-time buyers assume their credit situation disqualifies them from land ownership. Not with owner financing.
• No credit check means past financial struggles don't matter
• Late payments from years ago won't disqualify you
• Collection accounts won't block your dream
• Low credit score isn't a barrier
• Past bankruptcy won't prevent ownership
What matters: Can you make $125 monthly payments? Do you want to own land? That's it.
Banks judge your past. Owner financing focuses on your future commitment.

First-Time Landowners-your entry into real estate ownership
Service Industry Workers-affordable path on a working income
Gig Economy Workers-flexible housing for flexible careers
Young Families-start building security for your kids

What Makes This Different From Renting
When You Rent:
• Money disappears monthly
• Build zero equity
• Subject to rent increases
• Landlord can sell, forcing you out
• Can't make real improvements
• Never truly yours
• No legacy to pass down
When You Own This Land:
• Every payment builds equity
• Value appreciates over time
• Payment stays fixed at $125/Month
• Improve it however you want
• Truly yours after 45 months
• Something to leave your children
Ownership creates options. Renting creates dependency.
No more rent. No more mortgage (if you build modestly). Lower cost of living. Security for your family. Pride of ownership.
The Hard Truth About Waiting
Every month you wait:
• You throw away $800+ in rent with nothing to show
• This property could sell to someone else
• Rent prices likely increase
• You're one month further from ownership
• Building costs potentially rise
Every month you act:
• You're building equity instead of wasting rent
• You're securing this property before someone else does
• Your payment stays locked at $125/Month
• You're one month closer to owning land
• You're on the path to financial security
Waiting costs you. Acting builds your future.
What $125/Month Actually Means
Let's be honest about what most people spend $125 on:
• Two times eating out per week
• One streaming service, one subscription, some coffee
• A portion of your phone bill
• One night out with friends
• Random purchases that disappear
For the same $125, you can build real wealth through land ownership.
It's not about having more money. It's about using the money you have to build a future instead of funding consumption that leads nowhere.
The American Dream Isn't Dead
It just moved to places like this.
While everyone fights over overpriced houses in expensive cities, you can own land in the beautiful Ozarks for $125/Month.
While your friends stay trapped paying landlords, you can be building equity and planning your future home.
While people say your generation will never own property, you can prove them wrong starting with $349.
The American Dream isn't dead. You just have to go claim it.
