Eyal Goren Is Subto legal?
14 January 2025 | 23 replies
The "due on sale" clause (DoSC) obligates the seller to notify the lender if the property is sold.Failing to do so would place the seller in violation of this agreement, giving the lender the right to accelerate the loan.But no laws are being broken here.So, subto is neither legal nor illegal.Second, it only works because most lenders are more interested in receiving payments than in invoking the DoSC clause and foreclosing on the property.But, it can work, provided seller and buyer are both on board and the proper process is followed.

Nicholas Woo what are your thoughts using Anderson advisors?

With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.
