You started investing just prior to Covid -- these numbers (and the bubble nature of irresponsible FED/Administration choices in the prior 2 yrs) lead to the market run-up, not fundamental company health conditions.

Thanks @Brian Gibbons and @Bill GulleyMy idea was to purchase "subject to" at market rate of around 63k with the understanding that the loan was underwater and at the sellers current 5% (or if possible 6% to provide the seller some cash flow).Then do a sandwhich deal and resale the home through another wrap around mortgage to the end-buyer for about 8% on a 15 year loan.This would bring the end buyers payments to about $600/month, almost $300 more than the sellers amount due monthly on the loan.If $200 of the $300 monthly from the end-buyer were applied on top of the original sellers loan (70k, 5%, 40 yrs), it would pay off the loan in 15 years while leaving $100 cash flow for the length of the loan or 18k to the investor over 15 years.I left out the down payment because I figure since the loan is upside down it would need to go to the sellers loan amount and would only shorten the loan term for all parties but would also create obligation for the end-buyer.This essentially allows the original home owner to obtain his full loan amount through the interest earnings over the life of the wrapped loan.I see a risk at play if the end-buyer refinances or pays the loan in full prior to end of the loan which would leave the investor (me) responsible for the difference of the sale price and the original sellers loan balance.
