For builders and acquisition teams

Your leftover lots are our next homes.

Castco, Inc. places new HUD-code manufactured homes on permanent foundations, recorded as real property, and sells them as affordable, financeable homes for first-time buyers. We buy multiple lots a year in both markets.

03Agents and Owners Club members

No upfront referral fee. Bring the APN, we handle the screen and the walk.

How it works

APN to offer. No runaround.

Day 0

Send the APN

Parcel number, asking price, and whether the owner will carry terms. That is enough to start.

Within 24 hrs

We screen it

Zoning, access, utilities, flood and fire maps. You get yes, no, or exactly what we need.

Next

We walk it and write terms

We visit the lot in person, then make a seller-finance, subject-to, or hard money offer.

For land owners

Held it 10+ years?
Get paid every month.

Owner-carry terms can turn land you are paying taxes on into steady monthly income, with a clean, fast close.
