Time To Sell House Posted on May 22, 2020 Posted by Will
As an owner looking to sell there are so many options at your feet. With all of the information surrounding
subject to selling – we want you to weigh the pros and cons of this option to sell your house.
There is a chair at the decision table that points in many different directions.
Taking the traditional route with a realtor puts your house sale on their timeline. Exploring the ‘For Sale
By Owner’ route and the many obstacles you will have to overcome on your own with no guidance. Finally,
selling to a local house buyer like FixerUpper4Cash. We are known for fast cash offers on houses. However, we
like to present our clients with a variety of options that may fit their desire to sell fast.
We often come across clients who are wanting to sell quick but don’t have enough equity in their home for our
cash offer to pay off the existing note. This is where the subject to comes into play.
The Breakdown
In the simplest terms, selling subject to can lift a mortgage immediately off your shoulders. There are a few
differing varieties of someone purchasing your existing mortgage. There is subject to with cash, subject to
with seller carryback, and wrap around subject to. The bottom line of subject to is a buyer assumes your loan
payments, obligations, and responsibilities to your mortgage company. Your loan terms and rates are
transferred over to the buyer. The terms between the seller, the buyer and the mortgage company all depend on
which route of subject to that you choose. Subject to is attractive for sellers and buyers as a quick purchase
transfer. For a seller looking to get out from under a mortgage with a house that does not carry enough equity
to pay off the note, this is probably the best option.
T E R M S
While there are specific terms in a lender’s contract, a mortgage company just wants to ensure that payments
are still
being made on the loan. Depending on which subject to selling option you pick, an owner can sell their house
subject to without notifying their mortgage company. With some of the calculated risks for both the buyer and
the seller, it’s best to complete the process of a loan assumption by notifying your bank. This ensures that
the buyer is qualified to assume the loan and in turn lowers the risk of them not being able to pay the loan
off.

Jumping to Assumptions
There are a few ways that you can find out whether your house loan can be assumed through a subject to
purchase. The terms of a loan assumption can be found in the lender’s loan documents. There are two areas to
look for. Browsing through the ‘assumption clause’ and the ‘due on sale clause’ you should be able to find
information on whether you can do a subject to purchase. If it is still unclear after looking through the
documents, it’s best to call the lender directly and ask if it’s possible. With FixerUpper4Cash we are happy
to take care of that part of the selling process. After going through options and agreeing to sell to us, we
