SUBJECT TO SITUATION- ANY MORE WAYS?

Asher Carr

Hey everyone,

I have a lead that is looking to sell their home for $126K. They told me that they have $123K mortgage on the home and know they won't make money on it. I presented a cash offer and 'subject to' and explained the 'sub to' to them.

They are not interested in sub to and asked if I wanted to buy the property for what they owned on it?

I was thinking of writing this one off and move on to my other leads but I wanted to make sure if there was anything else I could do. It's a simple solution to a distressed homeownwer, but it seems like there isnt another way unless they are willing to do 'sub to'. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Short sale or no go. No point to buy an underwater home...
