Short answer is as little as possible.The long answer is it depends on the deal.Typically you end up in a subject 2 situation when the current owner has little or no equity in the property, the current advantage of subject 2 properties is that most mortgages are below current market rates.Keep in mind when acquiring a property subject 2, in most instances you are not notifying the current lender of the change in ownership, and most if not all mortgages have a due on sale clause, which is the lender's decision if they want to enforce it or not.I personally like the idea its a great way to get investment properties with low rate loans, that with most likely appreciate in the coming years.
