Credit/Debit Card: APXN Property uses a third-party payment gateway to accept credit and debit card payments. APXN Property is not in the business of providing secure payment gateways (this is a highly complex and regulated service) so we decided to let the experts handle the payment system for us. We use Stripe. Feel free to check them out. Through Stripe we are able to accept all major credit cards and debit cards.

Bank Transfer (ACH): Electronic Check transfers, also known as Bank Transfers are another payment option for the purchase of land at APXN Property. Similar to the credit card payment gateway, APXN Property uses the secure and trusted third-party Stripe to handle the backend payment system for electronic check transfers via our website.

Financing: Depending on the property, financing may be available. This payment option entails a Land Contract which is a legally binding document that specifies the terms and conditions of the financing. If the option to finance a property is available, a Land Contract will be signed by the seller (APXN Property) and the buyer (you). After the final payment is made by the buyer and all the terms and conditions are met as specified in the Land Contract, APXN Property will transfer the property Title to the buyer by way of Deed in the respective county.

At APXN Property we use a loan servicing software package by the name of GeekPay.io. If you choose to participate in financing, a link to the GeekPay.io website will be provided. This loan servicing software provides the amortization schedule, terms of the loan, applicable documents, offers users various payment methods, and captures fees if applicable. If you believe APXN Property financing would better suit your lifestyle, please contact us and we would be happy discuss this further.
