I have read around 25 books on the subject as well as personal finance and am looking forward to starting in a few years.

@Randy Gross Are you saying the seller did a BK (would be chapter 13) and did NOt include the subject property in the BK?

when buying real estate with subject to / wrap around mortgages how is the investor or home owner protected from each other after the deed is transfered.

Not really, the taking of a security interest includes deferring the transfer of title subject to completing the terms of any financing agreement.

@ChrisLogan Can you explain how a "subject to" works.

,There is not tax benefit; however, there is if you want to pay yourself wages and contribute to a solo 401k, offer health benefits, HSA, etc.Rental income by itself is not subject to SE Tax.

Nothing else matters more about determining value of a property than the recent sales in the immediate vicinity of your subject property.

I have a lead that came in that is a good candidate for a subject to deal.

Saw that one, but it got highjacked to another subject, so not much info there.

I use square ft. if it is within 20% of subjecter.
