Most Mortgage Notes are NOT assumable. Unless it is in forclosure, than you can do what is called a short sale. If the Lender is agreeable to the short sale. Do a web search on short sales. The lender would take less on the note, than what is needed to get out of the mortgage - and it would have to be a buyer, that buys the property......you can not pay the payments current and assume the mortgage. Since most are not assumable....I may be wrong, but that is what I have always heard. And I have been in the mortgage business 7 years.<br><b>References : </b><br> First you would have to read the mortgage NOTE on the property you are wanting to purchase.

If you purchase the 2nd, then you now have an "interest" in the property. The primary note holder will most likely deal with you as long as you make the catch-up payment and then continue paying. However, they may also exercise their "Due On Sale" clause and call the note. Unless you are an experienced investor or have someone willing to mentor you, this is a rather risky way of making money in real estate. I am the guy that buys the first lien position notes and wipes out the seconds. Happens all the time...<br><b>References : </b><br>Realtor, Investor, http://www.buyhawkeye.com It is essentially true.
