Strategies of buying "subject to"
I'm trying to wrap my head around when it make sense to buy a property "subject to". What are the typical exit strategies after buying subject to? Let's say a seller won't accept 50K on a 100K property. If they only owe 60K, do you offer them a subject to deal for 60K? Seems like if 60K cash doesn't work for you, then 60K subject to won't either.
Or, do you not offer a higher purchase price if doing subject to? If so, then why would the seller ever agree to it for the same price?
I'm obviously missing something here because I know it's a popular way of buying.
Also, who makes the payments to the bank when it's a subject to deal?
