SUB2/WRAP DEALS = GOING TO PRISON!!? :(
Hey BP,
I'm in FL and am fascinated by sub2 deals with wrap mortgages. I am wanting to utilize this as a way to invest and add to my portfolio. So I was talking with an attorney and he mentioned equity skimming laws in FL for folks in default. Here is statute: https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/697.08
QUESTION: Can I legally due these sub2 wrap deals on folks that have not yet gone to auction without criminal prosecution?
QUESTION: Statute mentions payment must be made for 12 months after purchase too. So if I do make one of these deals I must ensure 12 months of payments or face the possibility of criminal prosecution?
I understand this is not a legal forum... but any FL investors hip on this Sub2/wrap deals please advise. I thought this would be an AWESOME way to handle leads that have little equity.
