So basically in my mind this would not be a great financial move as we be accruing about 200k more in debt if we were to sell one house and take the cash from there and use it as a down payment.

For those buyers it's called "parking their money".

At it's basic level:Assumption: Asking the bank to turn the loan over to you and going through the normal underwriting process, credit, income, DTI ratio etc SubTo: Taking over the loan without telling the bank, no underwriting, no credit check, no income verificationBoth have risks, but it's not my intent to be detailed in this post.

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

Now with the NAR settlement, all buyer commissions are negotiable in the contract. 

Quote from @Jimmy Rojas: I live in Arizona and homes here are sky high, youd be lucky to get %6 interest rate, I would be a 1st time home buyer, apart from being 1099 employed would Trumps real estate plans benefit the little guys like me? 

Since 2021-2022 and the surge in prices in basically all markets across the country, how are fix and flippers evaluating properties.

There are numerous threads about sub to and many investors believe it is a high risk strategy (especially for seller) and believe buyers who use it “take advantage” of naive sellers.  

I 100% endorse adding in the escrows for taxes and insurance to set the buyer/borrower up for success.
