A: Residential mortgage lenders will generally not lend on vacant land. You’d have to go to a commercial lender and they won’t generally do it because you won’t have any income coming in on the property. Also, the amount you want to borrow is very small for a commercial loan.

I have two suggestions for you. First, see if the owner of the lot might finance the purchase for you. If the owner doesn’t have a loan on the property, and you’re willing to pay a slightly higher interest rate in order to secure the financing, an owner-financed deal might work well all around.

The other suggestion is to see if you can borrow against your primary residence and then use the cash to buy the lot.
