Introducing
The Serious Subject To System
Step 1: Finding the Deal
Step 2: Negotiating and Structuring the Deal
Step 3: Papering the Deal
Subject-to real estate transactions, when properly done, can change not only your life and the balance sheet of your business, but they can spare sellers/homeowners from difficult, painful decisions involving whether or not to let a house go to foreclosure or stay trapped in a house they can no longer afford.
Imagine the immense satisfaction you will feel when you do good by a seller and make money for yourself and your family. I am being serious about this!
The key is learning how to do subject-to transactions correctly so that you solve problems instead of creating more problems due to inexperience or ignorance. It is no longer amateur hour in this real estate market.
This market will no longer forgive ignorance or newbie mistakes. It is radically different from the market of the early 2000's. We are not repeating the housing crash of 2008.
One of the biggest differences from 2008 till now is the number of state-by-state regulatory changes protecting homeowners, particularly those who are in default or foreclosure.
Warning!
Did you know that it may be illegal in many states to market to individuals or offer to take over their houses when they are behind on their payments?
Neither Jeffery S. Watson nor anyone with WatsonInvested.education or SeriousSubjectTo.com are CPAs, nor have they ever played one on TV. You need to verify anything and everything on this website using someone you trust and who claims to be a competent tax, business, investment or legal professional of your choosing. Remember, you are 100% responsible for your decisions and actions! All material on this website is for classroom instruction only. It is here to cause you to think, to use your imagination, to ask questions and debate topics. Documentation appropriate in one state WILL NOT be appropriate in another state. A creative deal structuring and/or funding technique suitable for one transaction is not suitable for most other transactions. Warning: Those of us at WatsonInvested.education and SeriousSubjectTo.com fail miserably at being politically correct. If your feelings are easily hurt, if you are offended by small things, if you often feel the need to retreat to a safe place, if you regularly need hugs to comfort you, then you’ve come to the wrong website. You should leave immediately, if not sooner! There, you have been advised!
...some of the subject-to promoters out there on the internet are not completely on the up and up or up to date on the law and regulatory landscape involving loan modifications, sale and lease back arrangements and subject-to acquisitions, therefore following their advice and tactics could have serious negative consequences...
Until now, no one has been taking these issues seriously.
That's why I am on a mission. The mission is to educate and help investors do sub-to transactions correctly. I have spent over 10 years and tens of thousands of dollars lobbying in DC on behalf of the real estate investing industry.
We finally have a seat at the Housing Policy table. All of that could be lost due to bad publicity from subject-to deals done the wrong way.
I call what I am offering you, "Serious Subject To" education and training.
Serious about doing Subject-to deals the right way?
If you are the type of investor who wants to help sellers with their problem properties, make serious money for yourself, and legally stick it to the IRS, then you are in the right place.
Don't let this overwhelm you. Let me help you.
Doing Subject To Real Estate deals does not need to be scary and it doesn't need to be complicated. It is all about finding the right deal, structuring it in a way that is clear to the seller, and documented with the correct easy to use paperwork so that it is clear to the IRS to prevent unnecessary taxation while avoiding seller amnesia and other potential legal blow back.
The "Serious Subject To" All-In Package does just that... and more.
Step 1: Finding the Deal
It starts with finding the right deal.
Many times these deals come to investors based upon relationships that they have with friends and acquaintance. Remember in some states it could be potentially a bad idea to use direct marketing techniques to people who are behind on their house payments.
It is important for you to know how to talk to people. There are three simple questions to ask:
1. Why would you want to sell a nice house like this?
2. What are your immediate cash needs?
3. Would you be interested in a tax strategy offer?
After you ask each of these questions. keep your mouth shut and listen with both ears and your eyes.
A follow up question "tell me more about that reason" is always a good idea.
Step 2: Negotiating & Structuring the Deal
Based upon the seller's answers to the questions in Step 1, you will know if you can buy the house Subject To.
In the videos within the course we talk about two key criteria in negotiating and structuring the deal:
the importance of a minimum monthly cash flow. If the house will not rent for at least a minimum acceptable profit over and above the current monthly payments, then it is not a good deal for a Sub-To rental.how to fill out the purchase agreement based upon the seller's specific loan information.
the importance of a minimum monthly cash flow. If the house will not rent for at least a minimum acceptable profit over and above the current monthly payments, then it is not a good deal for a SubjecTo rental.
How to fill out the purchase agreement based upon the seller's specific loan information.
Step 3: Papering the Deal
Clarity is crucial! Having paperwork properly filled out that covers all the material aspects and most of the foreseeable details is crucial for a successful deal.
Your paperwork needs to be easy to fill out, understandable by the seller, close all potential loopholes, while giving you the protection you need to stand up against IRS scrutiny or aggressive attorneys.
I can't begin to tell you all the horror stories of seller confusion or amnesia two, three years after the sub-to deal was closed. You can prevent the seller from coming back and saying "you told me that you were going to payoff my mortgage", "you said such and such", or "my lawyer said you took advantage of me."
All of this is preventable with clear carefully drafted paperwork.
