You are free to deed  your property to whomever you choose, subject to your spouse's right to claim a certain share after your passing.

This matter is not subjective to where the broker can decide whether or not the agent " made a good faith effort to list the property".

I planted the seed of a "subject to" to give him something to consider. 

What are the proper steps to take if you purchase a property subject to and then decide to sell it lease option.

Is this a situation where a "subject-to" scenario could work?

BTW, filing a L/O just may give notice to the lender that there is an installment sale, filing an option does not tie up a property as the gurus claim, I can buy the property from the owner subject to the option and allow you to continue under your intended transaction, if you don't buy, I own the property.   

Be cautious with sandwich lease options Vanessa, Bill Gulley and I have been talking on this subject for a long time.If you are dealing with free and clear houses, taking title via a private 1st mortgage - installment sale and renting or lease option is smarter than a sandwich.Also on the selling on lease option side, watch out for rent credits, in other words do not do them, consider a ROFR, or right of first refusal, as Dodd Frank, SAFE Act, etc. has come into play.Use a RMLO or Reg Mortg Loan Orginator with your buyers as per the ATR (Ability to Repay Rule) will bite you later if the buyer gets an attorney on a seller financed deal.

What you're talking about is buying "subject to".  

I haven't been able to locate much information on this subject online.

(I've never bought one before, so I am new to this)All my friends and family tell me that making an offer (even if subject to) is a bad idea.
