Loan Modification / Subject-To Purchase

One interesting investing strategy we've come across lately is what I will call a Loan Modification / Subject - To purchase. This requires absolutely no money or credit from the investor.

In some cases after recieving the notice of default, the homeowner may be able to go through with the loan modification, but will still be in a difficult situation to make the monthly mortgage payments. In this case, we are still able to help them walk away from the property but avoid both a short sale and foreclosure.

This is a tremendous win-win situation for both the investor and the homeowner.

We have also seen in this situation investors set up a Lease-Option in the recently purchased Subject-To property. This is also a win-win situation for both the Lease-Option tenant and the investor: the tenant gains an ownership stake in the property while working towards a better situation to excercise the option to buy, and the investor secures the option money while having a tenant who has an ownership stake in the property.
Believe it or not, this strategy is starting to make sense here in Orange County California as the buds of cash-flow property are starting to sprout.
