Do you just file your HUD-1 or do you record it? Or what do you do with it?
Thanks
How can seller receive credit on subject to pmts? - Posted by Tarun_MD
Posted by Tarun_MD on June 28, 2001 at 21:46:09:
I took a house subject to last week. Today, the seller calls me up and asks me if there is any kind of an agreement I can give her that will show that her payments on the mortgage are covered. She is trying to qualify for a car loan and says that they will need to verify this.
My understanding is that when you do subject toās, the sellers will have a tough time proving to another lender that the payments on their current mortgage are covered.
I could possibly give the seller a lease agreement where I am the tenant or maybe give her a land contract where I am the buyer. This should help her get credit for the mortgage payments. However, can I get into trouble for doing something like this? Am I just taking on additional liability by doing this? Could this be considered unlawful?
Thanks
Tarun

Tarun,
Iāve also had that issue come up in regards to folks buying their next house. Itās probably only been a handful of times, but each time the sellers just showed the closing statement (HUD-1) and received āfull creditā for the payments Iām making. Hope that helps.
Have them show a copy of the signed agreement - Posted by Jim IL

Tarun,
I have dealt with this same scenario a few times.
In fact, just last week a seller from a deal we did last year called and asked for āproofā that I was now the one making the mortgage payments.
The seller said that the finance officer at a car dealership wanted something to show that she was not the one making the payments, and I was.
I just told her to show them the purchase and sale agreement, and pass along my contact info for any questions they may have.
The dealership finance guy called me and asked if I could fax him something, like a letter, along with a beter copy of the agreement, since the sellers was hard to read.
I did that.
She got her loan, and the new car and called me to say, āThank you Jim, last year I could have never afforded a new car, and thanks to you, I now have one.ā
Just have your seller show a copy of the agreement to purchase, and pass along your number.
It worked for me.
Iām not sure the car dealership guy understood exactly what the deal was, but he saw an agreement dated last year that showed she had sold the home, so he allowed the loan to go thru.
Iāve done this a few times over the last couple of years.
Whatever you do, DO NOT write up some other type of agreement. It would not be a good thing in my opinion to have a ficticious agreement out there with your name on it.
Good luck Tarun,
Jim IL

TRandle,
Havenāt seen much mention of the HUD-1 from folks that do their own closingsā¦
Do you prepare a HUD-1 when you do your own Subject To closings??
Thanks,
Andrew

getthedeed.com has a form letter for exactly this purpose in their forms kit. They issue it to every seller.

Andrew,
Yes, I do. It makes it easier for the recordkeeping and it has assisted my sellers in getting 100% credit for their payments.
