help! Promissory note.
I could use some guidance here.
I'm looking at a scenario and I'm new, so any ideas or inputs would be great.
I know a guy ready to give his house over to the bank because he is going broke.
I'd like to try and buy his house for a great deal and make it a rental and I'm trying to think of the best technique.
since Interest rates are high right now, I dont wanna open a new loan and get locked in at a high interest rate on a potentially long loan. so I was thinking about that promissory note idea. where I promise him to pay his loan payment and it stays in his name, assuming he has a better interest rate than what I could get.
any ideas on that tactic?

That’s called subject to, and it carries a lot of risks for the seller, and for you.
