Compare outright cash purchases, developer installment milestones, and mortgage financing.

Guide Documentation
Key Takeaways
  • Outright payments often secure the deepest purchase discounts (typically 5% to 10%).
  • Milestone installments allow you to preserve liquid capital and pay from ongoing cash flow.
  • Choose the structure that maintains your household cash reserves without financial stress.

Evaluating Payment Options#

  • Outright Purchase: Best for buyers with full capital ready. You lock in maximum discount and take immediate title ownership.
  • Milestone Installments: Ideal for structured cash-flow earners. Spreads payments over 6 to 24 months tied to building milestones.
  • Mortgage & Structured Financing: For buyers eligible for long-term institutional mortgage loans.
