I have had some that do.. but to base a business model on that as being an exit is highly risky.3. your then creating your own second with you and the trustor ( borrower) and you as the Bene ( Beneficiary) and you proceed to rip all your own cash out of the deal so in essence you have created 100% financing put in a lease option tenant and now have no real skin in the game.4. your seconds are probably of some shorter term than the first most likely. so as an underwriter of a loanwe have a 100% ltv loan first and second your now in second and if there is a default you need to clear the first.you have a lease option tenant that if they dont' pay you may need to do a judicial foreclosure to clear that document.and you as the sponsor took the money you got on the second and bought another property or took a vacation or what have you.. it becomes a house of cards and like I said highly risky.these lenders your proposing just need to be what they are capital partners and you should include them in upside to couch this as some sort of great note investment..

I'm always amazed at how people try to get lenders/financial institutions to change the rules to fit their situation instead of changing their situation to fit the rules (Again, making no assumptions the OP or anyone else fits that declaration).Scammers love "subject to" because the scammers only have an upside potential and no downside because they have no skin in the game (Outside of maybe reinstating a defaulted loan) and, no liability for being wrong.
