I t just does not seem worth the time, effort, monies for a potential problem. 

There's no way that helps the seller who is very very nervous and anxious about selling their house and getting enough money so they can not have to pull money out of their IRA or 401(k) to sell their house.I look for no equity deals from agents that are frustrated.My favorite leads are "expired leads" where the property most the time was not priced properly, so the listing died.And a lot of these houses that are not priced properly,  very little equity, and the seller is trying to make enough money so they can sell and move, and not deplete their savings.There's three strategies that can be used with low equitySubject to existing financingWraparound mortgageLease option then assignSub2 and the wrap have a due on sale issue, but the DOS can be managed.Lease option and assign, with 12 month leases that can be extended, is a great way to assist a "no equity seller" and get you a 3% commission UP FRONT in 60 - 70 days.Having a CASH OR TERMS listing presentation is helpful.Read Chapt 10 Creative Financing of http://www.amazon.com/Shift-Estate-Agents-Tackle-T...If you have a fidiciary duty to serve your seller as a listing agent, then present these solutions.And make money where other agents ignore these sellers.
