Pre-Foreclosure and Land Trust
Just thinking out loud - give me a sanity check please...
Background) Pre-foreclosure property CMV = 175K, Seller willing to walk away from note owing 135K. Seller willing to leave mortgage in his name.
Here is what I am thinking:
1) Get the house under contract - execute standard purchase and sales agreement
2) Have the seller place the property in a land trust, name me as the beneficial interest.
3) Update the title/deed with the trust name.
4) Either lease/option or outright sell the property.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
