It’s worth $600k, story I was told is the seller needs the $200k down specifically 


That doesn't make sense.

If it was worth $600k and the seller needs the $200k for something, they would sell on the open market. It would sell for $600k, they would net $570k after commissions, and they would walk with $270k cash after they pay off their 1st mortgage.

I don't even need the address to tell you that this property is not worth $600k.

I think if it was sold traditionally you are correct , but a traditional buyer then would have a rate above 7% and would not even get close to breaking even and that’s why it has not sold

You are spot on, thank you so much for the knowledgeable post. Prop taxes are 1.3% and I think I can raise the rents up another $500 mo. It’s just so hard to find anything in so cal even with a 1/3 down that breaks even, let alone cash flows. Once I get more info from the seller I would definitely reach out to you. Thank u so more already!

I appreciate your feedback, this property is only 20mins from where I live, it’s a good location, good price for rents, and will appreciate at least $15k a year. I’m more concerned with the Subto aspect of the deal since it’s not paid rent off. I’m going to to take whatever documents regarding the deal to a lawyer to cover myself the best I can, I’m just not sure of anything that someone who has done a Subto deal would know or can warn me about before I follow thru with escrow

Quote from @Nicholas L.:

why not find a house hack where you can put less down?

Honest answer , lack of experience with “hacking”, most house hacking ideas that I know involve renting a place out by the room to increase total rent, and in that kind of scenario I would not want to deal with different tenants personalities and hope they all get along together. I have a primary residence so I would not be living there either

Quote from @Nicholas L.:

but you'll have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting in it

You are correct , perhaps it’s not striking me as a problem since my money has been sitting for a few years doing nothing anyways, I thought this was a decent deal worth parking my savings 
Quote from @Nicholas L.:

i don't see how this makes any sense, with having to put that much down

Getting financing at 3% is great these days, and I don’t need to qualify for the loan, this property will cash flow which is very tough in California

Thank you, I don’t have an attorney yet, I’m hoping once escrow opens and the seller has  all the paperwork for the agreement to give me then I can take it to a real estate attorney to review it all for me
