Many Quickturn deals involve sellers who may be going through some financial difficulty. We buy their house with an Agreement for Sale, thus most likely averting/delaying any really bad financial situation they may be slipping into. That`s all great.....now. Win-Win
Who says their financial woes go away completely just because the`ve unloaded their house? It occured to me that I don`t have any understanding of what happens should they eventually fall into bankruptcy in the coming years, before I`ve cashed them out.
I thought bankruptcy required that all debt be removed from the bankrupt persons name. Well, the mortgage is still in their name. What happens when the trustee attempt to get that mortgage off the sellers name? It seems to me like it must certainly bring up the Due on Sale clause in a swift way. Pay the mortgage off immediatly so the trustee can complete the bankruptcy proceedings. Add to this, the fact that you will certainly not be in the loop if this all goes down 1 or 2 years after you have bought the house. That phone call or letter might be a bit of an unexpected shocker to say the least!! Especially if you can`t come up with the cash immediatly......
Did I miss something in Edmonton and the CD`s/course that covered this?
