This is a sale for me.

And that includes any due on sale being called as well.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

And all the deals I do the exit on a fully rehabbed home that I fund and pay for the rehab etc for my clients. is basically 250 and under .. there is not an issue with affordability in much of the US the issue is buyers preferences.

Right now you have $1,000 in cash flow that can be used to fund other projects (seed money), pay you in profit to supplement your lifestyle, or fill in any gaps for underperforming properties.  

Here are the specifics on our Seattle house: 5br 4ba 3,400 sq ft, built in 2019, $1.7M est sale price, $5.5K-$6K/mo est rental value, 4.0% mortgage with $3.3K monthly payment, around $1M in equity. 

According to CoreLogic, in December of 2023, almost 30% of home sales were to investors!

I like the idea of using a HELOC for value add projects where you can refi in 12 months to pay back your HELOC.

Why pay off the mortgage early? 

If not, what are property tax sales?
