    Dear StuckKanuck

    "Subject to" is short for subject to the existing financing. This means that someone using subject to financing is taking over the mortgage paymnets and terms as they already are. If the mortgage is behind in payments, as is sometimes the case with this type of financing, the delinquent payments must be caught up, which is usually several thousand dollars. When the mortgage is current, a person can take over a mortgage in this way and perhaps get the seller to give a seller mortgage, or owner financing, for the equity they want to get out of the property. Or, the seller might be willing to take cash from a second mortgage taken out on the property. Here in Virginia, and probably other areas as well, there is a special place on real estate sales contracts for "subject to" sales. Hope this helps.
