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!
Tom,
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”.
-I’m not a newbie, I do many CTM in my area!!!
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.
