Doing Subject To Deals Wrong? (Live Online Real Estate Investing Class)
·OnlineOnlineSubject To is one of the hottest strategies in today’s market…
Because it lets you take over low-interest loans…
With little or no money down…
Without qualifying.But here’s the problem: the vast majority of investors are learning it wrong.
They’re being taught to do deals that don’t have equity or cash flow; to work with sellers that will actually be HURT by the subject to, and don’t know it; to do things with banks that actually trigger the due on sale clause; and a ton of other things that could end up doing serious damage to the investor, the seller, or the buyer in the long run.
Which is why we’re bringing you this all-day online workshop on how to actually do Subject To deals legally, ethically, and profitably.
You’ll learn:
- How to find and negotiate these deals
- Which sellers will say yes (and which ones to avoid)
- How to structure offers that work
- How to protect yourself and your seller
- What paperwork you actually need
- How to avoid the biggest mistakes that kill deals
This is a complete, start-to-finish training—not surface-level theory.
The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants will receive the recording, so register even if you can’t attend live.
Your investment is only $47 by Thursday, April 23rd if you're a MAREI member, $97 by Thursday, April 23rd if you're not.
RSVPing here on meetup does NOT get you your link! Go HERE for full details and register.

And experienced investors, we’d love to have you join us to share you knowledge. Our hosts and experts have a lot of answers, but we will also be asking help of the audience as sometimes, they audience knows the subject at hand.
