Quote from @Eliott Elias:

Not true, some lenders allow for a loan assumption. You want to avoid this liability, shoot for subto 

Unless desperate, why would a seller do a Subto? Honest question, as it seems like such a risk to hope the new buyer makes the payments. Otherwise the seller’s credit is at a major risk right? If I were a seller I might consider a wrap around instead to at least offset risk a little.

thanks Matt! In this case I was hoping the seller was in a jam and I was in fact considering an assumption not a subject to. The article was helpful, appreciate your response.

We have a potential deal "on paper" where we would take over a conventional loan from a failed flipper. People are telling us that assuming a loan, legally, is next to impossible. I have heard this tactic mentioned several times but can not find any details on how or even if it's possible outside of an FHA or VA loan.

Any insight? Thanks!
