These are very different than Subject-To, as the loan actually transfers to your son's name, and off the seller's name. 

That is just not realistic.To illustrate this.. lets run this experiemtn.Imagine me giving 4000 people, that same list of 2000 contacts... what your claim then states... that pretty much 4000 people will all make a deal from 2000 leads.So 2 different people make a deal from ONE single house.So that too is proven wrong.So the way THEY told you that claim is completely wrong, and logically impossible.

If its someone you know vs someone you do not it will be different.
