Why Sub2 Deals Are Riskier Than You Think
from The Home Guys Podcast · host James/Jen Kolde and Jaden Ghylin
In this episode, Jaden and James break down the real risks behind Subject-To, also known as Sub2, real estate deals. Check out Kiavi Here:https://try.kiavi.com/r5offrq0l8jn Sub2 investing is often marketed online as a creative financing strategy, but the hosts explain why it can create serious legal, ethical, and financial problems for sellers and investors. They discuss how these deals work, why they may violate due-on-sale clauses, and how sellers can be left exposed if the buyer defaults or the bank calls the loan due. Jaden and James also share their concerns about influencers teaching complex strategies like Sub2 to inexperienced investors without fully explaining the risks. From damaged credit to foreclosure and lawsuits, they explain why these deals can quickly become dangerous when handled incorrectly. The hosts also compare Sub2 with other forms of creative financing, including seller financing and lease options. They explain why traditional seller financing can be a cleaner, more ethical win-win when the seller owns the property free and clear, and why lease options may offer a lower-risk alternative in certain situations. With more than 20 years of experience, Jaden and James explain why they rarely use Sub2 themselves and only consider it when they have enough cash reserves to pay off the loan if needed. Their message is clear: building a portfolio on risky Sub2 deals can create a shaky foundation that may collapse when banks, sellers, or life circumstances change.
