Trev,
Cash Cow explains how to buy properties subject-to, how to market them, how to structure land contracts when selling,etc.
Land Trusts explains how to place those subject-to deals into a trust so you can quietly take over the property. This course goes hand in hand with Cash Cow. It has a lot more information on how to place practically anything into a trust.
In closing, I urge you to get these courses for yourself. They both thouroughly explain it better than I can. GOOD LUCK.

P.S. These courses also contain all the forms you will need on disk and copies in the books themselves.
OK. I get an offer accepted by the desperate seller who is 4 payments behind and doesn’t want to face foreclosure. They agree to my subject to deal and now I’m checking title.
How do I get the house out of foreclosure? Do I just send my check with the past 4 payment coupons, or do I go into the bank and make the payments or what?
Also of course I will have the sellers place the house into a Land Trust and assign me that beneficial interest, but do I do this now while it’s currently in foreclosure or is this done after I make up those back payments?
I don’t have the cash to bring the payments current today, but it won’t be long before I get a buyer whom I will offer owner financing to and get a nice down payment from to make these back payments.
‘Also of course I will have the sellers place the house into a Land Trust and assign me that beneficial interest, but do I do this now while it’s currently in foreclosure or is this done after I make up those back payments?’
Do it when you sign the paperwork. Go ahead and get it done now.
‘How do I get the house out of foreclosure? Do I just send my check with the past 4 payment coupons, or do I go into the bank and make the payments or what?’
Get an authorization to release information and a Power of Attorney. Tell the bank you are acting as a trustee for the estate and would like to see about making payment araingements. See if they can put the payments at the end of the loan (recast is what it is called I think)and make all payments going forward. See if they can help you out as you help this poor family that has gone through difficult times and can make the payments going forward but would not be able to make them ALL up in one shot. I have been successful with the last three houses I bought spreading the back payments out over time. One would not budge.
‘I don’t have the cash to bring the payments current today, but it won’t be long before I get a buyer whom I will offer owner financing to and get a nice down payment from to make these back payments.’
If they are 4 payments behind it is not like you have a lot of time to do this. Remember you are working with someone elses credit here and it could go into foreclosure. What is the exit strategy if you do not find someone right away?
Invest in a good course on subject to like Bronchicks.
