Sounds like the investors knows exactly what he is doing and you don’t have a clue.

Your playing poker with a real shark and need to hire your own council (lawyer) if you want to deal with this guy.

Most likely as soon as you mention attourney to handle your end he will be gone faster than hot pancakes on a Sunday morning.

as previously mentioned, one of the things these investors do is they max out the equity in the home and then rent it out as the property goes into foreclosure. The other is that he/she will actually flip the property, which means the investor is getting this home way under value.

I had my equity stolen by one of these bastards many years ago. I needed a quick sale and he seemed to be our saving grace. They gave me a few grand and “assumed” the loan, or so I thought.

What actually happened is they put a tenant in and skimmed the rent until it went into foreclosure several months later. I was outside of the country and had no knowledge of what was going on until I applied for a mortgage several years later to have it denied for a foreclosure. Shortly after than, the VA came after me for restitution on what they had paid out on the foreclosure. It took months to get the waiver from the VA and clear the foreclosure off of my record.

If your mortgage company is willing to accept the investor as a substitute borrower on your loan and release you from any liability then this would be a safe way to dispose of the property quickly. Make sure that the closing is handled by YOUR attorney and that your attorney makes sure that you are properly released from you loan.

Next, just a FYI but it is a quitclaim deed (you are quitting your claim to the house) does not relieve you of any obligations that you entered, mortgage, leins, etc. In many states this does not transfer the house to the other person completely. You should make sure it will legally work for you. Quitclaim deeds are usually used in the case of marriage or other types of arrangements where you basically disavow any rights to the home. This does not mean you disavow your responsibility.

This just seems a little fishy. An investor is willing to forgo getting a title search and everything else? I just don’t like it.

You will still have the mortgage payment, so this will not help your credit at all.

This would be a very stupid move.
