.- Puts material equity into the deal, in the form of cash. - 750+ credit score- Pays legal fee for seller to have representation from lawyer to walk them through the terms of the subject-to deal, including making it very clear that there are extremely real, and potentially devastating risks in the event of buyer default.Irresponsible/unethical Sub-to buyer looks like this:- Poor/no credit - Would not qualify for the mortgage they are taking over payments for, much less a new mortgage if a forced refinance event happens.- Is attempting to get 100 subject-to deals, but is not even capitalized to pay off or inject enough equity to refinance a single one of the acquired deals to have it qualify for refinance, much less a few dozen of them.

But I’d probably go with something that’s all metal.

Assuming this is a passive business - meaning you are not materially participating - any cost segregation fueled losses would have no impact on your W-2 income.
