My name is Fade and I'm a wholesaler based out of Maryland and I've done a good number of deals over the past year and a half.I've been studying subject-to transactions for the past couple months in preparation for the gap in income the pandemic caused and the amount of creative financing inventory that is going to pop up. At this point, I understand the back bone of the process and how to run the numbers. Right now I am having issues with finding an attorney for legal advice and a title company that is willing to close these deals. The doors have been slammed in my face so far. 

Please reach out if you or someone you know are an attorney or title company processor that is interested in doing business and building a relationship. My goal is to eventually hit 10 deals per month and I also want to be able to pick up 20 subto/seller finance deals this year.  Please let me know if you are interested in being a part of my journey and want to work together!

Fade...As you can see from the many responses.

 It’s probably not a good idea to talk big game about sub2 investing on BP, especially since it’s clears that you don’t have a grasp on what your doing. (example... planning on deeding a property back to seller if things go wrong in a state that has transfer fees.) 

There are people that do sub2 respectfully, but they are not on BP bragging about it. 
 

The bold statement that you was going to do twenty in one year definitely didn’t set well for most. 20 in one year without prior knowledge
could be disastrous not just to you, but the sellers as well. There is a lot of moving parts to a sub2 transition. There is even more moving parts on doing a wrap correctly. These kinds of transactions continue to take monitoring and a careful eye. A wrap is NOT a passive investment. If the wrap buyer stops paying do you plan to keep paying? With a wrap you the seller would still be on the hook if things go wrong and things do go wrong. Buyers do stop paying and have been known to to do other things. Have you studied foreclosure laws in your state? Will you pay the underlying loan payments while you are foreclosing on your wrap buyers for non payment while you pray they don’t file bankruptcy one day before the foreclosure?

The insurance has to be just right as well. What about book keeping, records, and taxes? That is an on going job in a big way. Someone has to do it.

I’m not trying to be negative, but twenty in one year is definitely not recommended with no prior experience in that model. You or anyone else for that matter can get more branches in the air than roots in the ground.

Best regards and wish you well:)

Thanks so much for your contribution to this post and taking the time to even read through it all and catch up! In all honesty, I have no intention of picking up 20 this year. The title was just a way to attract people to the post to comment. But I am very interested in picking up at least a few this year and understanding the process in more detail and how to scale. The title may be more representative of my numbers next year. 

My biggest thing is finding those people that do it respectfully so I can lean on them for council. I would also not be able to even go through with these transactions on my own anyway because I am not interested in closing on a property without the legal backing of a title company. In regards to selling on a wrap, that was not me. My exit strategy is a lease option.

Thanks again!

@Chris Seveney

He addressed all of this in one of his videos on YouTube.

He has so much positive content out there so I don’t know how you even found that unless your search was biased to begin with. But I honestly don’t know the guys past because I wasn’t there.

He talks at length about being caught up with a client he was doing GC work for that owed him as much as a million before filing bankruptcy and he was wholesaling to pay his workers on his clients project, with the promise that they would pay him back at the end. But like I said, I don’t know if that’s true or not, because I wasn’t there.

@Gloria C.

In typical real estate transactions, buyer and seller agree on a price high enough to at least pay off the loan that was taken out against the property and the deed transfers. In subject to transactions, the deed still transfers to the buyer but you leave that loan in place and continue making the payments on behalf of the seller. The loan stays in their name. There’s a ton of controversy surrounding whether it’s legal/ethical/good practice or not.

@Peter Walther

He's freaking legit man, trust me. Just listen to some of the deals he breaks down on YouTube and join his Facebook group. He's hands down the best educator in the REI space in my humble opinion. So much value.

@Peter Walther

1% for equity assurance which is a service his company provides. That is separate from his educational content.

He teaches for free. He does have a mentorship that’s paid but he started that maybe 2-3weeks ago. He does ride alongs, will get on the phone with your sellers, his YouTube channel, replies to almost every message in his Facebook group, has a 16hr long training (no breaks) on subto, he’s getting ready to do another 25hr long one with no breaks on the 23rd, all available for free. Most of his educational content has been free up until this mentorship, but he still does A LOT of free stuff.

@Tiffany Drahonovsky

Thanks for asking but I don’t think it’s be good to move out of my immediate area until I’m a lot more experienced with this. But thanks again!

@Ron S.

I think I understand where you’re coming from but cheating on your taxes is inherently wrong, while this is not. That’s the biggest difference I see between the two but correct me if I’m wrong.

@Joe S. Yeahh, that is why I don’t typically post on here. But there’s something to be learnt from everyone regardless! Especially all these guys that have been in the game for so long
