well said Kerry@Joe GarbarczykLease options and subject to are for pretty houses that are pretty and there's some equity at least 10% The only comment I would make is, if the seller would take $55,000 and they owe $68,  you would not get clear title to the balance to the bank and most probably back taxes  Make cash offers based on net equity
