'in twice' 'at two times'

1. Could you tell me whether the following sentence is right?


When we buy new land or property in my country, we generally pay for it [in twice or at three times] according to the progress of the deal.

(=We don't pay all the price at one go)


2. In the above sentence, can I replace the part enclosed in parentheses with 'at two or three times'? That is to say, does 'in twice' mean the same as 'at two times'?

lucas21c Could you tell me whether the following sentence is right? I think the sentence does not convey the intended the meaning. You can consider this: When we buy new land or property in my country, we generally pay the total price of it in two or three installments depending on the progress of the deal.
