Well, @Rafael E. it is a subject to deal, though not in the traditional sense.  No debt to be assumed, but a bunch of environmental and tax liabilities.

That said, there's a flaw in your thinking.  If you buy subject to, you have bought just as sure as if you bought with cash or a loan.  Buying subject to DOES NOT give the buyer any ability to back out.  Subject to buyers do sometimes do that, thinking "why do I care, its not me that's getting hurt by reneging".   A total scum move, IMHO.

 thanks for the feedback. Being a newbie in this industry, it helps to have experts weigh in.

would a Subject To in the contract make sense? Like in this case, subject to inspections - if there are flaws in the deal, you as the buyer can back out, right?

Hey folks,

Just wanted to get a feel for how well are you doing with the app you downloaded to help you with your R.E. business, and will knowing that there are other apps out there, would you be willing to try this one out? If you feel your current RE app is better, what is the name of the app do you recommend? thanks.

Hello to everybody.

Getting out of my comfort zone is no easy task for me and I wanted to introduce myself. Just got interested in real estate investing and would like to learn from you all who have accumulated experience.

I really feel like a toddler being asked to jump into the water and I feel a little apprehension. You all know what it feels like...going into new territory, learning new things by the second. Its a little overwhelming.... BUT EXCITING!

I am looking forward to meeting you all.

cheers.
