Subto affecting seller's credit
Real estate broker here — I facilitated a subto transaction in 2023 with a VA loan in California.
The seller of that property now wants to buy a new home. However, the lender is including her payment on the property she sold, because the loan is still in her name.
I was always told that “after 12 months of payments through a third party payment processor, the loan will fall off of the seller’s credit.” Pace Morby himself told me this at a conference.
What am I missing? How do we fix this?

NOW this is a response great one.. in the FWIW file as someone who has done well over 100 sub tos in my Personal opinion the only way to use this tool in your tool box is for fix and flipping . NOT for LONG TERM investment rentals.. gEt into title fix it sell it payoff the mortgage the quicker the better but within 12 months.. that how I did mine.. original seller is protected and hopefully you made some money on the flip and saved PM or HM fee's buying the flip.. thats it thats the ONLY way I would do sub to and the only scenario I personally think its appropriate for.. All these folks that think they are going to hide behind equitable interest or land trust or sell the LLC etc are going to be in for a rude awaking.
