Does title seasoning start once a purchase contract or option has been recorded?

Nick,

Great idea to have RE agents/mortgage brokers bring you leads...what do you do for them in exchange for these leads?

Loan assumptions (I believe) have to be worked out with the lender. If you're just taking over the payments without the lender knowing, that's called taking over the payments subject to the existing financing or Sub2 for short.

If you're doing a Sub2 deal, this should be on your Purchase contract and you would need a Quit Claim or Warranty deed to get the deed. Remeber, if you say you're going to take over the payments and then you or whoever you assign it to doesn't, you'll be screwing over the seller.


Great thanks so much. When doing sub2 do I have the deed transfered into my name or can I put it an escrow account to make the seller more comfortable? When it comes time to sell...how does that work out? I guess the seller would be involved at that point since the loan is in their name.

I have someone who is willing to let me assume their loan.

I currently have the place under option and want to find someone to take over the loan and assign my option for a fee.

What is the process of taking over an assumable loan? Do any lenders have to be contacted? Or can this be done without ever speaking to the sellers lender?

Thanks

I have a property that someone is willing to let me assume the mortgage on.

I want to know if there's a good chance I can assign this to an investor since there is no need to qualify for a loan and there would be no down payment or closing costs? What would be a good assignment fee on something like this? The house does NOT have tons of equity; hardly any. But it is also in great condition and perfect for a rental. Mortgage payment is around $890/month and rents go from $1000-1100/month in the area.

Also, could I find an actual home buyer and make them put down a down payment and collect that as my fee?

A local wholesaler has recently taken title to a property he was trying to wholesaler for quite sometime. He informed me that he was still trying to sell the place although he has just taken title.

I have now FOUND a buyer and want to proceed to closing with him. What issues will I run into with title seasoning since the wholesaler has only owned the home for a week now?? How can I avoid title seasoning?

Thanks in Advance.
