Subject-to: A Simple & Profitable Explanation

By Chad Carson 1 Comment Filed Under: Financing & Loans

0 shares

This article is about buying investment properties subject-to an existing mortgage.  Because this particular strategy is a little untraditional, I recommend watching my video to really get the concept.

But first, if you want to review my previous articles in the creative financing series, here they are:

  1. 6 Reasons I Prefer Creative Financing to Bank Financing
  2. My Creative Financing Toolbox (And Why You Need It Too)
  3. How Seller Financing Really Works  
  4. How to Create a Private “IRA-Bank” For Your Deals
  5. Lease Options – How to Profit Without Ownership
  6. Credit Partners – How to Do Deals With a Partners Credit & Cash

The creative financing tool called buying “subject-to the mortgage” is basically a way to leverage existing financing on a property and avoid the need to apply for a new loan (at least at first).

But, the tool is too often touted as an easy entry into the real estate world, usually with “no credit, no down payment, get rich quick” type of marketing. For this reason it’s often misunderstood and misused by investors without enough knowledge or financial resources.

If done correctly and conservatively, it can make a lot of sense for both an investor and a seller of a property.  To explain my own take on this creative tool, I made a short video.

Here are a few topics you’ll learn in the video:

  • What is subject-to?
  • How does a closing actually work?

  • What paperwork is involved?
  • What’s the due on sale clause?

  • Why would you (an investor) buy subject-to a mortgage?
  • Why would any seller do this type of deal?

  • How can this deal structure be a win-win?
  • The importance of full disclosure (the opposite of sneaky trusts and other guru tactics).

  • Example of how to profit from a subject-to deal.

The video is about 13 minutes and will give you a very good introduction to this tool.
