by Jason Hanson | March 21, 2010As I type this I’m sitting in the Trump International hotel with a beautiful view of the strip — But in about 10 minutes from now I’ll be sitting in the sports book with an even better view of dozens of TV’s with all of the basketball games. If you love the sport of basketball, [...]

I recently heard about yet another successful real estate business relationship established because of BiggerPockets, and thought I’d interview the two gentlemen, Nick Johnson and Justin Schnettler, to find out more about it.

Real Estate Deals by Jason Hanson | January 14, 2009There are four ways to make money from subject-to’s.

The seller’s original financing stays in place until either refinanced or sold to a third party. The investor/buyer takes title to the property while leaving the loan in the seller’s name.
