That's interesting with those wrap mortgages. Is the original loan holder on the hook in any way? That seems very risky that a bank would allow someone else to assume the loan without really going through any underwriting. What if I want to get out of a house I'm underwater on and I find some homeless guy and I'm like hey dude want a house? That's a pretty extreme example but would seem risky to let the original person with the loan off the hook and the bank basically takes on the risk of someone unvetted.
That's cool you were into the supplement thing. Did you ever have problems with payment processing? the whole being classified as high risk is a nightmare to deal with. On eBay and Amazon Paypal and Amazon paymnet processing seem surprisingly lax on it but setup your own site and man what a nightmare from what I've heard.
Stevensville is a cool little town. I imagine it's been a while since you've been back there but there's a relatively new brewery called Watermark, cool little spot they have big glass garage doors that slide open so the inside is open air and outside they have lawn furniture, beanbag toss games, you can bring your dog and I'm pretty sure 7 days a week they have a different food truck outside selling food.
As far as tiring of things I feel you there. I have ADD, not sure if that plays a role but I'm just a very curious person and am always getting distracted by new projects, new things I want to learn about, new skills I wnat to acquire, etc. In many ways it's a strength in that it's helped me find a lot of ways to make money and have a lot of cool experiences but its also kind of a curse in that I have a hard time focusing and dedicating myself to one thing, I quickly get bored and want to move on to something else.
It kind of depends if the previous owners are on the hook or not. In my situation it was sort of unique because the previous owners filed for bankruptcy so me paying on those loans actually was helping them repair their credit and it never kept them from getting credit cards eventually and getting loans for vehicles so they didn't care.
That all being said I wouldn't try to execute one of these by just filing paperwork with the county recorders office. I would go through a title company and have title insurance and all that. You don't want to have a clouded title and there be confusion of who legally owns the property.
The most likely scenario to take down a property like this is if someone has equity but there is a lot of deferred maintenance that they really can't fix and there isn't really enough room in the deal to be trying to pay realtor commissions to market the property on MLS. So wrapping the loans and paying the previous owners some money so they have some cash in hand to get them moved into another place.
Because the alternative would be potentially take a foreclosure if they are behind and if there is equity they really can't do a short sale and the money isn't there to really market the property and all that.
It is a tough deal to find to be honest with you. And then on top of that even talking to the owners about what you are looking to do could be met with skepticism. Like they would be worried you are going to sort of "take the property from them." But in reality the bank is going to take it from them so it is better they have cash in hand.
Also they are able to independently talk to people at the title company to understand everything from a 3rd party which can certainly help.
There are just a lot of people who for some reason think that real estate agents are the experts and that you have to go through them to do a transaction.
