Tom,
Since U put it that way ,I agree!
-In my area (Canada), CTM are REALLY hot sellers, $5-$10k dwn no qual’ and 99.999% Cash ONLY is EXPECTED by the SELLER or, no sale.
-these deals get picked up within the day.(Truth)

Guess I should have phrased my answer a little better!

This is probably more obvious than I think and here is the context: “I sold the house to an investor for $3,000 cash to mortgage a few days later.”

What is difference btwn what U wrote and what I wrote…
-difference btwn sales price and existing mtg is “amount required to assume existing mtg”.

There is not any cash REQUIRED to assume or if you were not assuming and were buying “Subject-to”. The cash, if any, is negotiable between the buyer and seller and is not a requirement of the mortgage or note holder.
