I have done sub2 deals with such equity. IMO you're unlikely to be able to negotiate a sub2 deal with an attorney involved. The seller would have to have circumstances that couldn't be solved by an immediate sale. The seller has plenty of equity and no extenuating circumstances. Any attorney doing their job is going to steer their client away from a subject to transaction.
IMO sub2 works best when it solves the seller's selling problem, not the buyer's buying problem. No cash to buy is a buyer's problem.
