Learn How You Can Buy Houses Without Banks, Credit Checks or Getting New Loans
Keller Williams, 1960 Satellite Blvd,
Suite 1500, Duluth, GA
What if your next deal didn’t require a new mortgage?
You find a property. The seller needs a solution. The opportunity looks promising—but getting a new loan becomes the obstacle.
Subject-To investing gives you another strategy to explore.
Join Don DeRosa for a full day focused on understanding how investors purchase properties subject to existing financing, evaluate the opportunity, communicate with sellers, and address the risks involved.
You’ll go beyond the headline of “take over payments” to explore the conversations, numbers, paperwork, and responsibilities that determine whether a deal makes sense.
Learn the Strategy—and What to Watch Out For
Taking over payments is only one part of a Subject-To transaction. You also need to understand the seller’s situation, the existing financing, the property’s condition, and your plan for the property.
This workshop brings those pieces together through practical instruction and real-world deal examples.
Understand How Subject-To Investing Works
- Learn what it means to buy a property subject to an existing mortgage.
- Understand how this approach differs from obtaining new financing.
- Explore where the strategy may fit—and when another approach may be more appropriate.
Find and Talk with Motivated Sellers
- Identify homeowners who may benefit from a creative financing solution.
- Explain the process in language sellers can understand.
- Address questions about payments, credit, and ongoing responsibilities.
- Recognize potential opportunities among leads you already have.
Analyze the Numbers and Structure the Deal
- Evaluate the existing payments, property condition, and expected expenses.
- Consider potential cash flow and exit strategies.
- Learn how to negotiate terms that address both your needs and the seller’s situation.
- Recognize warning signs before moving forward.
Understand the Paperwork and Ongoing Responsibilities
- Explore the documents used in Subject-To transactions.
- Learn about payment handling and servicing.
- Understand why insurance and documentation deserve careful attention.
- Identify questions to discuss with qualified professionals before closing.
Recognize and Manage the Risks
- Understand due-on-sale clauses and why they matter.
- Examine the seller’s continuing exposure when an existing loan remains in place.
- Learn about common mistakes and circumstances that may warrant walking away.
- Understand why “no new mortgage” does not mean “no risk.”
Work Through Real-World Examples
- Follow how potential deals are evaluated.
- See how seller conversations, financing, and property details affect the structure.
- Discuss what worked, what did not, and why.
- Build a clearer process for evaluating your next opportunity.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is designed for:
- New investors who want to understand creative financing before pursuing a deal.
- Experienced investors looking for another way to structure an acquisition.
- Wholesalers who want to recognize opportunities beyond a traditional cash purchase.
- Landlords exploring ways to acquire additional rental properties.
- Investors with seller leads who want to ask better questions and evaluate more options.
You don’t need previous Subject-To experience to attend. Bring your questions and a willingness to look at deals from a different perspective.
Spend the Day Learning with Don DeRosa
Don will lead you through the strategy, seller conversations, deal analysis, and practical considerations involved in Subject-To investing.
The goal is to help you understand more than how a deal starts. You’ll explore what needs to be considered before closing and what responsibilities continue afterward.
Learn the process. Understand the numbers. Ask better questions. Make more informed decisions.
