Hello All, I have a client asking if they could buy a portfolio of 5 properties (at a "packaged deal" rate) and sell off two of them to recoup some of the initial down money needed to buy them. I haven't done anything like that before but figured I would ask. Seems to me it would be a bit complicated with any sort of lending. I imagine the only way it would be possible is to do the bulk purchase in cash, sell off a couple and then put debt on them? Any advice is welcome.

Hello all! Was wondering if I could turn one of my spaces into an assisted living multi-tenant facility as it’s in a great area for it and can be changed with a reasonable rehab. I’m not sure all of the regulations/rules to this in PA though. Anyone that could point me in the right direction or give any advice I’d love to hear, thanks!

I have someone looking to sell a property in Easton near Lafayette college. It's a 3BR 2BA home and I was thinking of doing student rentals as it's close to the university and makes sense as a student rental. My question is for anyone that does student housing in the Easton PA. Not something I typically get involved with so was curious as to what rent/room is in the area. Any advice is welcome.

All very good points, I brought this up initially because I didn’t want to do something illegal or immoral, not my intent. I appreciate the feedback

Thanks Brady, I appreciate the additional details about protecting myself from the due on sale clause. I guess the issue I have is I have no paperwork that I can use to do this properly, will need to consult a local attorney to draft something.

Understood, this make a lot of sense. As a buyer, it doesn’t seem like a whole lot of risk from what you’re saying.

I have a subject to deal that I can pursue, but my broker tells me that subject to is mortgage fraud. Basically if the current owners die, go into bankruptcy, or something else, I would lose the property and it’s not worth the risk. Curious what the BP community thinks.


 1) Your broker doesn't understand Sub-To deals (most of them don't)

2) Read the PA state laws from your General Assembly regarding Sub-To deals. The secretary of the Legislature can help you find them or just search them on their web site

3) Those are real challenges with Sub-To so educate yourself on them before pursuing a Sub-To deal

4) Your state law will outline whether it's considered 'fraud' or not. In NC it's not fraud, it's just 'not considered good business' and 'sus' by our legislature. Totally allowed, we just have to put a disclaimer on our contracts that they approved. 


 Thank you for the response, I’ll definitely take a look. I appreciate it!
