Subject To And Bankruptcy

Apprentice2Him profile photo

Anxious seller, unemployed, two months behind, willing to "subject to" is also filing for bankruptcy.

Have any of you faced this? Does bankruptcy affect my purchase?

Should I purchase before bankruptcy is filed, or after? Seller plans to finish his paperwork by this weekend & file first of the week.

What would you do?

    Thanks, Bargain!

    I see seller tomorrow. Seems bankruptcy probing could increase risk of incurring "due on sale"

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks alot. After she deeds me the property, is it worth assigning or should I just try to find a tenant and do a lease/option?

    Tenant Lease option or just 1 year lease. CASH FLOW!! Then refi in a year.

    The lender usually will reinstate the loan as long as they havent filed a sale date yet as far as i know. The further into the foreclosure the less chance.

    That is basically it from what i read.

    "Investor pays $1,000 to get the deed, and now must pay $1,200 mortgage payment + insurance+taxes"

    1000 to get the deed? not sure what you mean by that. You pay the seller this for them to sign you over the deed?

    if the normal mortgage payment is 1000 a month then you should sell on a lease option for like 180-200k and payments of like 1300 a month (for example).

    oh yeah, ask for a good deposit from the rent to owners. like 5k. that will cover what you put into it.

    ryand,

    I simply was referring to "U-Haul" money, or just the money I would pay the owner to go through with the deal and move out, when I said "$1,000 to get the deed". Sorry for the confusion.

    Thank you for your reply.

    GoldenBear,

    I think you will find that most Judges give the property owner great latitude before they take a persons house away if a person can make up the back payments.

    Lenders are aware of this, so they will give you a letter stating the amount it will take to bring the loan current and re-instate the loan.

    There maybe exceptions to this, but from the negotiations I have done and seen done with lenders this is the norm.

    Hi,
    Consider contacting the trade assn. in the state for
    title companies. Lok on the web, then contact the board members of the assn., these guys/gals have been helpful for me in the past, plus are probaly able to direct you to someone. Possibly someone w/some specific info. Plus, they as board members, play no favorites, or it could affect their position. Yes, the list is long generally, yes, it pays to put the time in.(generally) Give it a try - Mark
